Suzuki Motor Corporation plans to cut new vehicle development time in half by 2030 to bring models to market faster.

Suzuki aims for 30% development and 50% production efficiency

Suzuki will improve development efficiency by 30% compared with FY20 levels and boost factory productivity by 50% above Manesar plant standards.

Suzuki retains multi-powertrain strategy

India production capacity target of 4 million vehicles

Suzuki targets commissioning 4 million vehicles annually in India by FY30, up from 2.9 million units currently.

Suzuki adopts concurrent development process

Suzuki will work on planning, design, production engineering, quality, and procurement concurrently from early vehicle program stages.

Suzuki focuses on regional mobility solutions

Suzuki will adapt vehicles to regional infrastructure needs, including electricity generation, renewable energy, and charging infrastructure.
