Suzuki India plan to develope 2 car inhouse by 2012 and modified G series to pass new emission norms.
- Maruti Suzuki is developing another MPV, R3 , which is 100% India-made, right from design, development and engineering.
- Maruti is also developing a compact car which is completely designed, engineered and developed by its India R&D and will be launched in 2012. Rao said that the company is also re-engineering various existing engines.
- The biggest and most significant change in the Eeco is the new engine, and for that it should thank the Versa. The 1200cc four-cylinder motor makes 73 bhp@6000 rpm and 10.4 kgm of torque at 3000 rpm. And it meets the upcoming BSIV norms. Now you would think it’s the new K-series engines that powers the A-Star and the Ritz. Actually, it’s the old G-series 1.3-litre Esteem engine that has been downsized to 1.2-litres and has been tweaked to meet the new emission norms coming up this April. Changes include a new injection system, Nox sensors and altered compression ratios.
- this engine is likely to be fitted into the Wagon R instead of giving it the new K-series motor.
- Business Standard reporter Swaraj Baggonkar adds that a CNG option of the Eeco will be introduced in the future.
- the Eeco also gets a new five-speed gearbox, featuring what Maruti Suzuki calls the Diagonal Shift Assistance Technology. Essentially, it makes diagonal gear changes easy and improves gearshift quality. The gearbox has been adapted from the one found in the new Estilo.
