SUZUKI CSR REPORT 2011
Control of Global Warming
Promote CO2 emission in all areas of products, manufacturing, distribution, etc. under the
policy of making parts "Smaller, Fewer, Lighter, Shorter, and Neater"
Suzuki believes that reducing CO2 emission, which are connected to global warming, is important to pass on to
the next generation a clean environment. Under the policy of making parts "Smaller, Fewer, Lighter, Shorter, and
Neater" which is the base of wide varieties of manufacturing, Suzuki mainly provides compact cars that reduce
CO2 emission. In addition, the Chairman visits each plant once a year to promote energy-saving through entire
business activities and efficient manufacturing and distribution by the light and compact manufacturing line, and
also to accelerate reduction of CO2 emission.
01 Efforts for Development
Automobiles
In order to reduce CO2 emissions, which are connected to global warming, we are constantly working to develop and
improve products that offer superior fuel economy.
■Improvement of Fuel Efficiency
1Trends in Average Fuel Efficiency by Weight Class
In fiscal 2010, passenger cars in four out of five weight
categories achieved the 2010 target level of fuel efficiency.
(The fuel efficiency standard was achieved using credits
as the whole Suzuki Group.) The fuel efficiency could be
improved particularly in the light weight class (875 kg and
1000 kg).
Lighter vehicles tend to allow for better fuel efficiency.
Suzuki contributes to improvement of fuel economy for
the entire motorized society by providing lightweight
automobiles (mini vehicles, compact vehicles, etc) to as
many customers as possible.

2Fuel Efficiency of Representative Models
WAGON R, one of Suzuki’s representative models of minitall
wagon vehicles* 1 , features the 2WD CVT and idling
stop system, and achieved low fuel consumption of 25.0
km/L* 2 (10/15 mode).
*

2 The fuel consumption rates are the values obtained under a
specific testing condition. The rates vary according to the actual
use conditions (weather, traffic, etc) and driving situations (sudden
starting, use of air conditioner, etc).

3Number of 2010 Fuel Efficiency Target Models and Shipment
Quantity
As of the end of March 2011, Suzuki applied the 2010
Fuel Efficiency Target to 15 types and 25 models released
in fiscal 2010.
The volume of shipments of the applied models reached
547,604 units in fiscal 2010, accounting for 94.2% of
the total quantity of domestic delivery. The fiscal 2010
shipment of the vehicles for Eco-Car Tax Reduction was
402,687 units.

4Efforts for 2015 Fuel Efficiency Target
Considering the 2015 fuel efficiency target, we have
made a future plan for further improving fuel efficiency
and will put efforts into it.
Achieved the 2015 fuel efficiency target with some
models of Wagon R, LAPIN, ALTO, MR Wagon, and SWIFT.
