Maruti Suzuki Saves 203% More Water Than Previous Year
Maruti Suzuki India has announced that it has achieved a three-fold jump in water savings at its workshops by adapting to the dry wash initiative. The Company saved over 656 million litres of water in 2018-19 across its workshops, which is 203% higher against 216 million litres of water in 2016-17. Nearly 6.9 million vehicles were washed using a dry wash system at Maruti Suzuki workshops in 2018-19.
Talking about the environment-friendly initiative, Mr. Partho Banerjee, Executive Director, Service, Maruti Suzuki India said, “At Maruti Suzuki, we identify and promote measures that delight car ownership experience for our customers plus help conserve the environment. All our service initiatives like a dry wash, paperless service experience, etc. are designed to enhance customer comfort and convenience without compromising on the environment. Dry wash at our dealer workshops helps us do our bit to give back to society. We request over 18 million customers, who visit our workshops every year, to opt for dry wash and help conserve water for our coming generations.”
The dry wash system has helped to reduce the washing time, improve the final wash quality and reduce water consumption. The focus has been in major cities where water scarcity is prevalent. The top six cities – Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune, Nagpur, and Chennai – helped to save maximum water to the tune of 160 million liters in 2018-19.
On the occasion of World Environment Day, Maruti Suzuki is offering free pollution check and complimentary dry wash for its customers. The offer is valid until June 10th, 2019.
