Maruti Suzuki’s offering in the commercial vehicle space, the Super Carry is now BS6-compliant. The LCV has been launched today, in line with the company’s Mission Green Million announced at Auto Expo 2020. This new S-CNG version is also the first petrol-powered light commercial vehicle to upgrade to a BS6 engine. The LCV has been priced at INR 5.07 Lakh (Ex-showroom, Delhi) for the S-CNG version.
Venturing into green mobility with the introduction of CNG vehicles in 2010, Maruti Suzuki has already sold one million green vehicles (including CNG, Smart Hybrid vehicles). Under its ‘Mission Green Million’ aim, the carmaker will look to shift the next one million green vehicles in the next couple of years, spearheading their mass adoption across the country.
