Maruti Suzuki announces upgrading its entire range of vehicles, including commercial vehicles, to meet the updated Bharat Stage-6 Phase II emissions regulations. Accordingly, all its vehicles are now compliant with the new Real Driving Emissions (RDE) regulations and compatible with E20 fuel.
A press release from the company noted that the new RDE-compliant cars feature an enhanced On-board Diagnostics (OBD) system to monitor emission control systems of the car in real-time and will notify drivers in case of any malfunction. Besides, these cars have been equipped with an Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system, which can detect when a driver is losing vehicle control under challenging driving conditions. ESC assists the driver in maintaining traction with the road by optimally controlling engine output and braking force to each wheel to bring the vehicle under control. ESC is offered across a range of products in Hatchbacks, Sedans, MPVs and SUVs.
C V Raman, Chief Technical Officer, Maruti Suzuki India, said, “The Government of India’s drive to incorporate the new BS6 Phase II norms will go a long way in controlling emissions from vehicles over their entire lifespan. During this upgrade, Maruti Suzuki also took the opportunity to delight customers even more by equipping our cars with ESC, a leading safety feature globally. With this, Maruti Suzuki cars and SUVs are now safer than ever before and better for the environment, as well.”
Maruti Suzuki has a comprehensive offering of 15 vehicles ranging from Hatchbacks, Sedans, SUVs, MUVs and commercial vehicles. The company recently launched its sporty SUV Fronx and will soon launch the true blue off-roader Jimny SUV in the country.
