JAMMU, Sept 5: Ciaz SHVS- India’s first Smart Hybrid Diesel Car was launched today at new Maruti dealership, Jammu Motors Pvt. Ltd, 6-Akhnoor Road, Jammu in the presence of several dignitaries.
Equipped with smart hybrid features including Idle Engine Start/Stop, Power Assist and Brake Energy Regeneration, Ciaz SHVS is able to create a new benchmark in fuel efficiency, making it friendly for the customer as well as the environment.
Ciaz Smart Hybrid participates in Government of India’s FAME program which aims to promote Hybrid and Electric vehicles in the country.
On the occasion of the launch, Sanjay Aggarwal, Managing Director Jammu Motors Pvt. Ltd. said, “Through Ciaz Smart Hybrid, we are deploying technology to benefit the customer and the environment, both at the same time. Brand Ciaz has been one of the major success stories for Maruti Suzuki in the past one year. It has won nearly 60,000 customers in India and overseas and established itself as a leading brand in the premium sedan segment. Ciaz Smart Hybrid will further strengthen its position.”
He emphasized “Ciaz Smart Hybrid is special also, because it helps us participate in India’s vision of promoting hybrid and electric vehicles. By offering support through the FAME program, the Government has ensured that hybrid technology, while being clean and customer friendly, also becomes more attractive and accessible.”
Ciaz Smart Hybrid offers a fuel efficiency of 28.09 Km/I, enabling Ciaz to regain the position of most fuel efficient diesel car in the country. It is followed by Celerio Diesel and DZire Diesel.
SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) technology uses an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) and an advance high capacity battery. This system supplements engine’s power, making it more efficient than the conventional set up. The energy saved while decelerating/braking, which is otherwise lost, is stored in the advance high capacity battery and assists during acceleration (for eg, gradient climbing). This combination results into a peppy, powerful & fuel efficient vehicle.
