MarutiSuzuki to lauch Alto, Eeco, Estilo, Wagon R And Sx4 In CNG Version during the second week of August 2010

Maruti Suzuki, India’s No.1 car maker is gearing up to launch five cars with factory fitted CNG kits during the second week of August 2010. This aggressive move reflects Maruti’s commitment to better environment as well as to stay ahead of competition among its rivals.
Maruti will launch CNG variant of Alto, Estilo, Wagon R, Eeco and Sx4. According to MSI Chief General Manager (Marketing) Shashank Srivastava, the CNG models will be very important inMaruti’s portfolio. Maruti Suzuki is the first company to come out with factory-fitted CNG cars and Maruti will have the first mover’s advantage in the market.

Maruti will launch all the five CNG cars on a single day in the second week of August because there is no particular segment for CNG cars unlike other models, which can be specified into different strata and this is a launch of ‘ factory fitted CNG’ technology and not cars. Besides the launch of five CNG versions, Maruti will launch Alto K10, a new variant of Alto with 998 cc K series engine.

Maruti to resume sale of LPG version of Duo till time new WagonR LPG gets ready

 Maruti also informed that it is very unlikely that the LPG version of new WagonR will be ready to deliver into the market this year and therefore decided to resume the sales of Duo with LPG.

It is clear that Maruti Suzuki does not want to loose on sale of its LPG variant until the new version gets ready. It is also interesting to know that Duo was contributing about 20-22 percent of total WagonR sales which is 10,000-12,000 units per month. Maruti made an announcement of its decision to resumes the sales of Duo LPG and Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) Chief General Manager (Marketing) Shashank Srivastava said, “We are now selling the ‘Duo’ and it will continue till the LPG variant of the new WagonR is ready. The work on new LPG is going on.”

Though Maruti had earlier made it clear that the company will stop the production of Duo and any decision to launch the LG variant of the new WagonR will depend entirely upon the market demand. And now it seems that Maruti has found all the good reasons to launch new WagonR in LPG and resume the sales of Duo with LPG version.
