Maruti Suzuki rejoices again after 10 months which rolled out over one lakh units of KB-series engines that currently gears the two small cars, the A-Star and Ritz.

Walking through the success of this new fuel-efficient technology, Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) has planned to incorporate KB-series engines in other existing as well as new models.

“The company’s Gurgaon plant has produced over one lakh KB-series engines, which are installed in the two small cars A-Star and Ritz since its commercial production began in October last year,” a company spokesperson said.

When asked about MSI’s future strategy to roll out more KB-series engine cars, the official said, “We have definite plans to gradually introduce this next generation light-weight fuel efficient engine series in other models over a period of next 3-5 years.”

He, however, declined to name the model next in line after A-star and Ritz which will be powered by the KB-series engine.

The company produces Bharat Stage-III, Bharat Stage-IV and Euro-V emission norms compliant KB-series engines. It produces two different petrol engines, 1 litre (A-Star) and 1.2 litre (Ritz), from the fully integrated engine manufacturing facility, located at MSI’s Gurgaon plant.

According to the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), A-Star gives a mileage of 19.6 km per litre, while Ritz runs 17.7 km for every litre of petrol.
