Maruti will export the ‘Made in India’ e VITARA to over 100 countries besides selling in the domestic market.
Maruti Suzuki India commenced the exports of Suzuki’s first Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), the e VITARA, in August and already shipped over 2,900 units of e VITARA from Pipavav Port in Gujarat to 12 European countries – the United Kingdom, Germany, Norway, France, Denmark, Switzerland, Netherlands, Sweden, Hungary, Iceland, Austria, and Belgium.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who attended the event at the Company’s manufacturing facility in Hansalpur, Gujarat, hailed Maruti Suzuki as a brand ambassador of the ‘Make in India’ initiative. The e VITARA is exclusively manufactured at Maruti Suzuki’s Gujarat manufacturing facility. The exports mark a key milestone in Suzuki’s roadmap to establish India as the global production hub for e VITARA.
Built on an all-new electric vehicle (EV) platform, HEARTECT-e, the e VITARA features a design that combines a sense of advanced technology and strength, says Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India. “We are sure that with a nimble and sharp driving experience, it will delight customers in Europe,” he adds.
The ‘Made in India’ e VITARA will be exported to over 100 countries besides selling in the domestic market. A preview of the e VITARA was done earlier in Milan, Italy and at Bharat Mobility Global Expo in New Delhi, India.
