Fast Technology reported on July 17 that Japan’s Suzuki Motor Corporation recently announced plans to reduce the weight of its small hatchback Alto by 15% in the next ten years to reduce vehicle energy consumption and apply its related technology to other models.
Alto currently weighs 680 kilograms, and Suzuki Motors hopes to reduce its weight by 100 kilograms.
Matsushita, Suzuki Motor’s executive in charge of automotive technology, also said: “If the vehicle is too heavy, we must also increase the size of the battery and motor to achieve long battery life and good performance.
Smaller motors and batteries are expected to reduce the price of Suzuki models.
” It is reported that Suzuki Motors has long focused on small vehicles.
For small electric vehicles, excessive weight has a direct impact on battery life, and increasing the battery cannot meet the size limit of its small vehicles.
To reduce the weight of the car body, it can not only increase the battery capacity and volume, but also ensure the vehicle’s battery life needs.
Take the domestic Wuling Hongguang MINIEV as an example.
Its entry version has a battery life of 120 kilometers and a body mass of only 665kg.
Although the car’s battery capacity is only 9kWh, thanks to its lightweight body, it can still ensure the vehicle’s battery life of more than 100 kilometers.
