Suzuki Swift plug-in hybrid & SX4-FCV at Tokyo Motor Show
October 8, 2009 by Matt Brogan
Suzuki will debut at least two environmentally friendly concept cars at this months Tokyo Motor Show. At this stage it is believed a plug-in hybrid version of the Swift five-door hatch back will be debuted along side a hydrogen-powered version of the SX4.
With Suzuki new to plug-in hybrid technology it is believed the engineering beneath Swift will be a series hybrid system, similar to that used in Chevrolet’s Volt, which Suzuki say should provide 20 kilometres of pure-electric travel.
The Swift will be propelled exclusively by an electric motor but will also feature a small petrol engine for charging batteries whilst on the go.
Accompanying Swift at the Suzuki stand will be a hydrogen-powered version of the SX4, known as the SX4-FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle).
The SX4-FCV will utilise fuel-cell provided by General Motors combined with a tank and capacitor engineering in-house at Suzuki.
Suzuki aims to have a production version of the SX4-FCV ready to go within the next few years though this model will most likely be restricted to fleet use only.
