How SHVS Works..
SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle from Suzuki)
technology uses an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) and an advance high
capacity battery. This system supplements, making it more efficient than the
conventional set up.
The energy saved while decelerating/braking, which is otherwise
lost, is stored in the advance high capacity battery and assists during
acceleration (for eg, gradient climbing). This combination results into a
peppy, powerful & fuel efficient vehicle.
Dynamic Performance..!
In CIAZ SHVS, the acclaimed DDiS 200 Variable Geometry
Turbocharger super combo is paired with the ISG for enhancing its performance
& Fuel efficiency.
Smart Hybrid features..
Idle
Start Stop: .
The idle engine start/stop function on CIAZ SHVS turns off the engine
automatically when the car is idling. It restarts the car as soon as the clutch
is pressed.
To re-start the engine, the system uses the stored energy. Restart
is by belt driven ISG thereby assuring quick and silent restart
Power
Assist:
The stored energy in advanced high capacity battery assists engine
power during acceleration.
This results into improved engine efficiency and prevents
unnecessary loss of fuel.
Brake
Energy Regeneration:
Recuperation of the kinetic energy makes the Ciaz
a true Smart Hybrid Vehicle. The ISG converts the energy from
braking/deceleration of the car and stores it in the battery. This stored
energy is later used to drive the ISG, to assist the engine’s idle start-stop
function and assists the engine during acceleration.
Gear
shift indicator:
The gear shift indicator introduced in the Ciaz SHVS prompts the
driver to effectively change the gears, resulting in enhanced fuel efficiency.
Enhanced Safety:
The
all new CIAZ SHVS is high on the safety quotient too. Built on Suzuki’s Total
Effective Control Technology (TECT) CIAZ SHVS offers immense body rigidity and
stability. It offers fortress –like protection to the occupants.
Extensive use of
High Tensile Steel makes the body stronger and safer. Several active and
passive safety features like Dual Airbags, Seatbelts with Pre-tensioners and
Force Limiters, ABS with EBD, Rear Parking Sensors and camera, Fog Lamps and
Rear Defogger add to the safety of the passengers.
In addition, even at the level of the entry
variant, an option equipped with dual air bags, ABS & seat belt
pre-tensioners and force limiters is being made available.
Caring for the environment..1
MSIL
has pioneered the introduction of environment friendly programs ahead of
government regulations and the industry. Some of these include upgrading
products to End of Life Vehicle (ELV) norms of Europe, production of BS-IV and
E-10 compliant engines, introduction of factory-fitted CNG vehicles with i-GPI
technology.
MSIL has also worked systematically towards reducing the C02
emissions of its vehicles. Over the last few years it was able to reduce the
CO2 emissions by over 13% through various fuel efficiency improvements
initiatives. Use of hybrid technology in Ciaz is another effort by the Company
to contribute to a clean environment.
