Nissan was once upon a time the top rival to Toyota, not just cars but trucks and industrial vehicles too.

Then Nissan was ruined by a series of lousy CEOs.

HANSALPUR, India :Japan's Suzuki Motor will invest 700 billion rupees ($8 billion) in India over the next five to six years, its chairman said on Tuesday, as production of the automaker's first electric vehicle began.

Through its majority stake in Maruti Suzuki, Suzuki Motors already produces 17 models in India for export to around 100 countries, including back to Japan. It will now also become the global production hub for the company's electric cars.

Made in India is their secret sauce?

Only 40% of revenue is from india. But it hold huge market share there. Its main income is japan kei cars. Which it currently wants to weaponise. Especially to china in EV form. That is a huge market as chinese car makers race for luxury and bigger cars leaving just a few serving the bottom.

Shares of Maruti Suzuki rose 2.6 per cent to an all-time high after the investment was announced during an event to mark the start of commercial production of the mid-sized "e Vitara" SUV at its Gujarat plant in the village of Hansalpur Becharaji.

Maruti will export between 50,000 and 100,000 of the EVs a year, its chairman RC Bhargava said. He added that there was not yet a timeline for a launch in India, the world's third-largest car market in which Suzuki commands a leading 40 per cent share, in part due to the high cost of batteries that would push up costs for price-conscious local consumers.

The e Vitara will compete with Hyundai's Creta and Mahindra's XEV 9e.

Suzuki Motor earlier this year trimmed its sales target in India, its biggest market by sales and revenue, and also scaled back its electric vehicle plans amid intensifying competition in the South Asian nation and a global slowdown in EV sales.

EV sales growth in India is still outpacing the overall car market and electric models account for about 4.5 per cent of all cars sold in the current fiscal year from April 1. The government is maintaining a target of a 30 per cent share by 2030.

The Gujarat plant is set to become one of the world's largest automobile manufacturing hubs, with a planned capacity of 1 million units, said Suzuki Motor chairman and president Toshihiro Suzuki.

suzuki sells a lot of small yellow-plated vehicles (kei cars) in rural areas, small towns, lesser known cities. these yellow plated vehicles are only for private use (no commercial use) and can go on freeways. jo teo will love these as they are tiny with very small spaces for sex. it’s very popular in jippun as it enjoys very low taxes and insurance rates. here’s a suzuki kei car. i was there in march and got to drive in one to verify that sex in one of these is possible, especially with short-legged jap chiobus.
