SUZUKI MOTOR CORPORATION
In our design and development, in addition to conventional
demands for enhanced safety, greater reliability and more
comfort, Suzuki has been developing multi-faceted and
highly advanced technologies to respond to environmental
demands for reducing exhaust gas emissions, enhancing
fuel efficiency, noise reduction, saving of consumed
resources, and recycling enhancement.
In our manufacturing and purchasing, corporate measure
include reducing energy consumption (reduced CO2
emission), reducing landfill waste (enhancement of yield,
recycling), careful managing of chemical substances, and
promoting green procurement.
In our marketing, in addition to promoting proper treatment
of used products and components, we are providing our
sales network with dismantling manuals, and other
information, which can be useful in such operations.
In our distribution and office work, we are also focusing on
reducing energy consumption, cutting down on consumed
resources, recycling, and promoting green purchasing.
In addition Suzuki is promoting environmental conservation
for social contributions through a variety of projects, which
include environment-cleanup activities, participating in lake
water purification research and making presentations at
environment-related exhibitions.
2004 topics:
<Manufacturing> Annual power generation reached
1,899,000kWh through full-scale operation of wind generator
devices installed at the Kosai Plant, providing 1.3% of the
total power consumed at the plant (a reduction of 118,000
tons of CO2).
<Product> The "MR Wagon -FCV", fuel cell vehicle, the first
to receive the certification by Ministry of Land Infrastructure
and Transport as a 70 MPa system, was jointly developed
with General Motors Corporation. Road tests of the "MR
Wagon -FCV" began in January 2005, and development is
progressing with an eye to commercial viability.
<Social contribution> The "Flora Mover", a magnetic
induction type electric automobile, was developed and
presented at the "Pacific Flora 2004" convened from April to
October 2004 in Shizuoka, and was utilized by the crowds
visiting the exhibition grounds.
As a general manufacturer of automobiles, motorcycles
and industrial equipment, Suzuki is addressing
environmental conservation at all stages - from product
development to disposal.
