• Suzuki signs MoU with National Dairy Development Board and Banas Dairy, Asia's largest dairy producer, for validation of biogas
India's largest carmaker Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) has revealed a new plan for the upcoming CNG model cars. The company has announced that it will use cow dung to run CNG cars.
Maruti Suzuki and Asia's largest dairy producer have signed MoU with National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) to implement the scheme.
The automaker said in its growth strategy for 2030 that it has invested in Fujisan Asagiri Biomass which generates electricity from biogas derived from cow dung in Japan.
In an official statement, Suzuki Motor said, "While we expect the Indian market to grow towards FY2030, we also expect the overall CO2 (carbon dioxide) emission amount to increase, despite the reduction in CO2 emissions from the products." is inevitable. We will be challenged to strike a balance between increasing sales units and reducing the total CO2 emissions amount".
With cow dung and biogas easily accessible in rural areas of India, the company will use new technology to reduce carbon footprints.
In India, Suzuki signed an MoU with the National Dairy Development Board and Banas Dairy, Asia's largest dairy producer, for verification of biogas.

Suzuki Headquarters, Yokohama Lab, Suzuki R&D Center India, and Maruti Suzuki will collaborate for efficient development by sharing developments in each area for futuristic technologies, advanced technologies, and mass production techniques.

It added, "Of the 4.5 trillion yen, 2 trillion yen will be electrification-related investments, of which 500 billion yen will be battery-related investments."
Two trillion yen, the company said, plans to invest for R&D spending in areas including electrification and biogas, as well as carbon neutrality such as autonomy. It said it "plans to invest 2.5 trillion yen for capital expenditure in facilities including the construction of a BEV battery plant and renewable energy facilities."
