Once again, Suzuki makes a big appearance at the Mobility Show in its homeland: showcasing various concepts for diverse mobility that are closely aligned with people’s everyday lives. This ranges from concept models of cars and motorcycles to outboard motors and next-generation mobility solutions. Additionally, Suzuki presents multi-stage initiatives on the path to CO2 neutrality.

.Interior of the eVX concept vehicle presented for the first time

After the Suzuki eVX was shown for the first time at the Auto Expo 2023 – as a preview of Suzuki's first globally significant BEV – the study has been continuously developed both externally and internally. The interior will be publicly presented for the first time at the Japan Mobility Show 2023. The eVX concept vehicle, a fully electric SUV with brand-specific all-wheel drive, offers a range of up to 500 kilometers.

eWX: Fully electric mini-SUV in Kei-car dimensions

This concept of an extraordinary and practical compact car (Length/Width/Height: 3,395/1,475/1,620 millimeters) with electric drive impresses with a friendly appearance, a clear and simple body shape, a bright and comfortable interior, and an electric range of up to 230 kilometers. It is also likely to be delivered to Europe at affordable rates!

e EVERY CONCEPT: Battery-electric mini-van for commerce

 This mini-van (Length/Width/Height: 3,395/1,475/1,890 millimeters) with an electric range of up to 200 kilometers was jointly developed by Suzuki, Daihatsu, and Toyota. The electric van has all the practical features of a commercial vehicle and can even be used as a power source if needed. It could also be successful in Europe.

Spacia Concept / Spacia Custom Concept

The compact car combines a particularly unique design with a spacious driver’s cabin and aims to make everyday life more pleasant, convenient, and comfortable.

Less surprising and futuristic: The Swift Concept

The concept model of the new generation Suzuki Swift is equipped with a variety of advanced safety technologies, including the Dual Sensor Brake Support II (DSBSII) collision protection system, adaptive high beam (AHS), and a driver monitoring system (DMS). The highly efficient drive ensures a balanced relationship between performance and economy.

Motorized wheelchair: Suzuki Senior Car

This motorized wheelchair is equipped with LED headlights and an ultrasonic sensor that detects obstacles in front of it. A clutch prevents unintended starting.

MOQBA: the next generation of four-legged mobility

This study with wheels and four legs was developed for people with limited mobility who sometimes encounter obstacles like steps or stairs even in well-developed public transport. By combining the basic frame with various structures, individuals can stand, sit, or lie on it. Thus, MOQBA is also suitable as a mobility solution in places that are almost impassable for vehicles in emergency situations.

New E-Scooters: SUZU-RIDE/SUZU-CARGO

In the completely new vehicle category for Suzuki, the company offers a single-seat electric vehicle that combines the comfort of an e-scooter with stable four-wheel drive. With the SUZU-RIDE, the journey to work or school can be comfortably managed, while the SUZU-CARGO is suitable for leisure activities or work use due to its large storage space.

Suzuki GO!: the new electric mobility

This new mobility concept is aimed at a target group in middle-old age. Its unique design provides the vehicle with stability; the frame conveys a feeling of safety. The operation, reduced to the essentials and thus simplified, by joystick combined with a safety system that detects obstacles on the road result in a comfortable driving experience.

Innovative: The LM-A - Delivery robot for the “last mile”

This delivery robot was developed jointly with Lomby Inc. The company addresses challenges in the logistics industry. In the joint project, Suzuki is responsible for the development of the motor and platform, while Lomby works on the remote-controlled or autonomous control and the interchangeable battery system.

e-PO: Foldable Electric Small Motorbike

The e-PO is a foldable electric small motorbike that has been co-developed by Suzuki and Panasonic Cycle Technology and is comparable to a 50cc moped. The small motorbike uses the battery and drivetrain of e-bikes but offers a stronger support function right from the factory. This makes its use on roads perfectly feasible. The rider has three driving modes to choose from: completely without assistance, with pedal assistance, and movement solely powered by the rider's muscle strength.

Powered by Panasonic: e-choinori

Just like the e-PO, this electric scooter relies on the battery and drive unit from Panasonic Cycle Technology. This model is also comparable to a 50cc scooter and is based on the "Choinori," which was introduced in 2003.

Classic, Electrically Reloaded: The e-Burgman

This 125cc prototype was first unveiled in April 2023 and has since been tested and continuously developed in collaboration with the Japanese company Gachaco. The electric scooter features an innovative battery exchange system. Additionally, Suzuki is pushing the development of a hydrogen-powered version based on the Burgman 400.

Small Electric Outboard Motor (Concept)

The compact and fully electric outboard motor is easy to transport and extremely low-maintenance. Its battery can also be used as a power bank. The outer parts are completely unpainted, minimizing environmental impact. Suzuki's microplastic collection device is also part of the equipment.

Other Colorful Projects

Additionally, Suzuki is introducing a biomethane gas project in India. The WagonR CBG (Compressed Biomethane Gas), which the company first presented at the G7 summit in Hiroshima in May, and also a hydrogen-powered transport vehicle. To achieve its goal of CO2 neutrality in its production facilities, Suzuki is relying on hydrogen as an energy carrier. One application scenario is fuel cell-powered transport vehicles at the Kosai plant. Even more outlandish are flying cars in collaboration with SkyDrive Inc.: Suzuki plans to start producing flying cars at its plant in the Shizuoka Prefecture as early as 2024. At its booth at the Japan Mobility Show, Suzuki is showcasing a 1:5 scale model.

 

What Does That Mean?

Japan is back! Given everything Suzuki is announcing, we can look forward to seeing what other wild innovations will be showcased at the Japan Mobility Show!
