DAPURPACUID – Amidst increasing mobility and increasingly complex and diverse traffic conditions, a vehicle is needed that can express an active and dynamic lifestyle, while being fuel efficient and providing optimal comfort.
To meet the needs of today’s urban society, hybrid vehicles are still a relevant choice for consumers in Indonesia. This is also helped by the trend of environmentally friendly vehicles which has experienced significant growth in the past two years.
The shift in trend from ICE vehicles to electrification is also driven by public awareness of climate change and environmental sustainability. Although pure electric car technology continues to develop, hybrid cars continue to captivate consumers in the country.
As an innovative solution, as well as an ideal choice for an active and dynamic lifestyle, there is a mild hybrid system technology from Suzuki called Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki (SHVS).
This technology combines the advantages of conventional engines and electric motors. Suzuki vehicles that carry mild hybrid technology include the Ertiga Hybrid, Grand Vitara, and XL7 Hybrid.
4W Marketing Director of PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales (SIS), Harold Donnel, said that his party always tries to follow technological developments as well as the interests and needs of the community.
According to him, today’s public awareness has also begun to shift towards more environmentally friendly vehicles, thus encouraging Suzuki to present a choice of hybrid cars which are known for their low exhaust emissions.
“Hopefully, the Suzuki model line-up during GIIAS 2024 can accommodate the public’s need for modern and efficient transportation modes,” said Harold in his official broadcast recently.
SHVS technology is designed to provide a smoother, more comfortable and efficient driving experience, making it an attractive option for consumers looking for an energy-efficient, environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient vehicle.
Working Principle of SHVS Technology
The working principle of SHVS is quite unique and interesting. Compared to full hybrid vehicles, Suzuki’s intelligent technology offers a more affordable yet efficient and environmentally friendly hybrid solution.
This system is designed with the principle of energy regeneration, where energy that is usually wasted when braking or decelerating, is converted and stored in a lithium-ion battery.
This energy is then used to assist conventional engines, especially during acceleration. Thus, engine load can be reduced and fuel efficiency can be improved.
In addition, the SHVS system is also equipped with an automatic start/stop feature. This feature allows the engine to automatically turn off when the vehicle stops, for example at a red light, and then turn back on when the journey continues.
This feature is very useful for saving fuel, especially in heavy traffic conditions. This technology combines an internal combustion engine (ICE) with an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG), and a Lithium-ion battery.
The car’s motion activity is still done by the results of internal combustion as the main one. The battery and ISG are tasked with providing extra assistance or push when needed.
Like when the car is moving or accelerating at the beginning which is quite a heavy activity for the car. As a result, the initial pull feels lighter and can contribute to lower fuel consumption.
When the vehicle starts accelerating, the energy or power stored in the battery will provide additional power to the engine.
However, when the vehicle reaches a stable speed, the energy or power will be diverted to electrical components such as lights, audio systems, air conditioning and multi-function information displays.
This allows the engine to focus on its main task, which is to produce power. Thus, fuel efficiency is increased and driving performance is improved.
So, you can experience the comfort and smoothness of the ride without sacrificing energy efficiency. Suzuki’s SHVS technology offers a number of advantages that make it an attractive choice for consumers.
The advantage of vehicles with this technology offers a more affordable hybrid solution compared to full hybrid or full electric vehicles. Although equipped with mild hybrid technology, the price of this vehicle remains affordable for the general consumer.
This makes the SHVS system an ideal choice for those who want to enjoy the benefits of a hybrid vehicle without having to dig too deep into their pockets. (dpid/ADV)
