EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION SCHEME

 Every time you send your car for a proper cleaning, you could be using 120 litres of water per wash. That's how much the country's biggest car maker with the most market share (47%), Maruti, claims to save per car when customers opt for dry-wash. Today, 488 service stations across the country use dry-wash bio-degradable chemicals, 414 use mechanised wash, which saves about 60 litres per car.

 To put this in perspective, Maruti has 3086 workshops across 1478 cities, serving 17 million customers and has reduced water consumption by around 500 crore litres per annum.

EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION  SCHEME

Every year, Maruti employees share 3 to 4 lakh suggestions through the Employee Suggestion Scheme; most of these fall into the product weight reduction category. Quite a few have been implemented.

 Alto K10 lost 10 kg and   Swift 40 kg resulting in an increase of fuel efficiency by 3.15 kmpl and 1.84 kmpl, respectively
