Suzuki could not be left out of the electrifying party being hosted by its bigger fellow Japanese automakers, therefore at the Tokyo Motor Show later this month, Suzuki will exhibit its latest concepts for the future, including a Swift with Plug-in Hybrid system and an SX4 Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV).

Leading the charge is a previously announced Swift with a plug-in hybrid system that runs on lithium-ion battery power. A 660cc petrol engine is fitted to recharge when levels of power drop. The car is ideally suited for people who travel about 20km (or less) daily, as it is designed to primarily run on electric power.

The second car is a full-on electric vehicle called the SX4 FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle). Its source of go is a fuel cell developed by General Motors, which is coupled with a high pressure hydrogen tank and a light and compact capacitor. Brake energy regeneration is part of its technology arsenal.

Suzuki is currently testing the SX4 FCV on Japanese public roads.
