HEARTECT PLATFORM

Heartect Platform developed by Suzuki`s in house R&D team in japan. Maruti Suzuki cars in india now use
this innovative new generation chassis platform. The structure utilizes ultra and advanced high tensile steel,
to help the car resist deformation with precision Thus, augmented collision safety and dispelling damage to
the car. This ensures that safety that is significantly improved by its precisely constructed. Crumples zones at
the front and rear that absorb an impact related accident.

Key Feature of Heartect Platform:-

⦁ Enhanced Safety
The HEARTECT platform uses the UHSS (Ultra high-strength steel) and AHSS (Advanced High-
strength steel) which is more than 300% stronger when compared to any standard automotive-grade
steel. In the event of a collision, the HEARTECT’s smooth and continuous frame design aids uniform
absorption and distribution of the impact energy.

⦁ Improved NVH Levels

NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) characteristics are important for modern car buyers who appreciate
silent cabins. The HEARTECT platform excels here as well, offering improved NVH (Noise Vibration
Harshness) levels that elevate the driving experience.
⦁ Offers Better Driving Dynamics

Through strategic product development and innovative design technique, the HEARTECT platform achieves
 SUZUKI GLOBAL C PLATFORM

The Global C platform is made of high-strength steel and features a lightweight construction, which
helps improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. It also has a longer wheelbase and wider track
than the previous-generation platform, which provides more interior space and better handling.

The Global C platform is used in several Suzuki models, including the Suzuki Baleno, Suzuki Swift, and
Suzuki Ignis. These models are popular in markets such as Europe, Asia, and Australia.

Key Feature of Suzuki Global C Platform:-

Modular design:

The Global C platform is a modular platform that can be used to build a range of vehicles of different
sizes and types.

High-strength steel construction:

The platform is made of high-strength steel, which makes it lightweight and durable.

Lightweight construction:

The Global C platform's lightweight construction helps improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

Long wheelbase and wide track:

The platform has a longer wheelbase and wider track than the previous-generation platform, which
provides more interior space and better handling.
 SKATEBOARD

A skateboard is a type of configuration for automotive chassis, used for automotive platforms of battery

electric vehicles. The skateboard chassis includes a base structure or a platform, which houses
the batteries, electric motors and other electronic components fundamental to an electric vehicle. It also
has removable and replaceable corner units at the wheels, into which is
the suspension, steering, powertrain and braking functions are embedded.
it is a self-contained platform, with all the necessary driving and electronic components integrated into
it, and which can be mounted with a variety of bodies after scaling them into various sizes. Electric
vehicles are still low-volume production commodities, and this makes them expensive to fabricate or
assemble. The skateboard allows an automaker to design and manufacture vehicles in several vehicle
categories and body segments without engineering each one independently.

Key Feature of SKATEBOARD Platform:-

Lightweight construction:

The skateboard platform typically uses lightweight materials, such as aluminium or carbon fibre, to
reduce weight and improve efficiency. This can help to improve range and reduce charging times for
electric vehicles.

Autonomous driving capabilities:

Some skateboard platforms are designed to support autonomous driving features, such as advanced
sensor systems and vehicle-to-vehicle communication capabilities.

Electric powertrain:

The skateboard platform is designed specifically for electric vehicles, with the battery pack and
electric motor providing the primary power source. This can help to reduce emissions and improve
fuel economy.
 OMEGA Arc

(OMEGA) Optimal Modular Efficient Global Architecture

The OMEGA platform is intended to support the development of electric and autonomous vehicles,
as well as traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. The platform can be modified to
accommodate different battery sizes and configurations, as well as different electric motors.

It is designed to be flexible and adaptable, allowing to produce a range of vehicles with varying
sizes and powertrains.

Key Feature of OMEGA Arc Platform:-

 Monocoque construction with optimized torsional and bending stiffness for exemplary driving dynamics.

 Efficiently designed crumple zones for absolute safety.

 Extensive use of advanced high strength steel and tailor welded blanks for high strength & reduced weight.

 Auxiliary isolation panels for quiet and refined in-cabin experience.

 Built on advanced 90%+ automated manufacturing line for robust built quality and reliability.

 Isolated sub-frame design minimises the noise and loads caused by severe impacts such as speed humps.

 Tested for over 2.2 mn kilometres on torturous terrains.

 Over 1 mn SUVs based on D8 Platform already sold world over.
