Innovation and sustainability take center stage at Suzuki’s PIMS 2024 showcase

Suzuki Philippines is set to reaffirm its commitment to eco-friendly innovation at the 9th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) from October 24 to 27, 2024, at the World Trade Center in Pasay City. This year, Suzuki’s “Future City” booth will highlight its technology-driven initiatives that align with the brand’s vision for sustainable mobility.

Suzuki is actively working toward a more environmentally responsible future by exploring a range of solutions for carbon neutrality. As consumer demand shifts towards greener alternatives, Suzuki is continually developing eco-friendly mobility solutions. Beyond electric vehicles (EVs), Suzuki is also focusing on carbon-neutral internal combustion engines powered by biogas and ethanol-mixed fuels.

Suzuki’s innovative approach to reducing CO2 emissions is gaining traction in India, where biogas is being produced from cow dung—a widely available dairy waste. By refining and compressing methane from this biogas, Suzuki’s experts aim to create low-emission biofuels. This initiative is just one example of the brand’s commitment to addressing global environmental challenges.

In addition to its work with biogas, Suzuki is pushing the boundaries of mobility with projects like the SkyDrive flying car, developed in collaboration with SkyDrive Inc. Production has already begun in Iwata City, Japan, with a goal of bringing safer, emission-free aerial mobility to the world.

Another exciting development is Suzuki’s venture into autonomous driving technology. Partnering with TIER IV, a leader in open-source autonomous driving software, Suzuki is accelerating the development and commercialization of autonomous vehicles—part of its long-term vision for smart, sustainable transportation.

Suzuki’s forward-thinking doesn’t stop there. The brand is also working on the Mobile Mover, a multi-purpose robotic dolly created with M2 Labo. This tool plays a significant role in agriculture, carrying products such as crops, making it an essential innovation for farmers and outdoor agricultural work.

Taking their innovation beyond Earth, Suzuki has partnered with Tokyo-based lunar exploration company ispace, inc. Suzuki’s expertise in structural analysis—used in automobile testing—has been applied to developing the landing gear for ispace’s Hakuto-R lunar lander, which is set to attempt its second moon landing in December 2024.

Closer to home, Suzuki Philippines is already making strides in sustainability with its introduction of hybrid models like the Ertiga Hybrid and the XL7 Hybrid Black Upgrade. These eco-friendly vehicles deliver impressive performance while reducing emissions, offering Filipino drivers a balance of efficiency and driving pleasure.

Suzuki also brings advanced technology to the Philippines with features like the Auto Gear Shift (AGS) in the S-Presso and Dzire models. The AGS system combines the ease of automatic transmission with the fuel efficiency of a manual, offering drivers the best of both worlds.
