ALL AUTOCARS

Recently, Suzuki has released the first image of its all-new Alto minicar. The Suzuki Alto is based on the A-Star concept that was developed together with Suzuki’s Indian subsidiary Maruti and showcased at last December’s Auto Expo in New Delhi.

Suzuki is expected to build two different versions of the Alto - a low-cost model to be manufactured by Maruti at a plant in Manesar, India, and a global version that will be sourced from Japan. Power for both models will come from a newly developed Euro 5-compliant 1.0L aluminum petrol engine with carbon-dioxide emissions of less than 109g/km.

Suzuki is also planning to reveal several hydrogen fuel-cell concepts including a motorbike with a 100hp (75kW) electric motor powered by an air-cooled fuel-cell.
