History of the Suzuki car brand

Contents FounderEmblem History of the car in models Questions and answers: The Suzuki automobile brand belongs to the Japanese company Suzuki Motor Corporation, founded in 1909 by Michio Suzuki. Initially, SMC had nothing to do with the automotive industry. During this period of time, the company's employees developed and manufactured looms, and only motorbikes and mopeds could suggest the transport industry. Then the concern was called Suzuki Loom Works. Japan in the 1930s began to urgently need passenger cars. Against the background of such changes, the company's employees began to develop a new small car. By 1939, the workers managed to create two prototypes of new cars, but their project was never implemented due to the outbreak of World War II. This line of work had to be suspended. In the 1950s, when looms were no longer relevant due to the end of cotton supplies from the former occupying countries, Suzuki began to develop and produce Suzuki Power Free motorbikes. Their peculiarity was that they were controlled by both a drive motor and pedals. Suzuki did not stop there and already in 1954 the concern was renamed Suzuki Motor Co., Ltd and still released its first car. The Suzuki Suzulight model was front-wheel drive and was considered a subcompact. It is with this car that the history of this automobile brand begins. The founder Michio Suzuki, born in 1887 in Japan (Hamamatsu city), was a major entrepreneur, inventor and founder of Suzuki, and most importantly he was a developer in his company. He was the first to invent and bring to life the development of the world's first wooden loom equipped with a pedal drive. At that moment he was 22 years old. Later, in 1952, on his initiative, Suzuki factories began to produce 36-stroke engines that were attached to bicycles. This is how the first motorbikes appear, and later mopeds. These models brought more profit from sales than all other production. As a result, the company abandoned all its additional developments and focused on mopeds and the beginning of car development. In 1955 Suzuki Suzulight rolled off the assembly line for the first time. This event became significant for the Japanese car market of that era. Michio personally supervised the development and production of his cars, making an invaluable contribution to the design of new models. At the same time, he remained president of Suzuki Motor Co., Ltd until the end of the fifties. Emblem The history of the origin and existence of the Suzuki logo shows how simple and concise it is to create something great. This is one of the few logos that have come a long way in history and remained unchanged. The Suzuki emblem is a stylized "S" followed by the company's full name. On cars, a metal letter is attached to the radiator grille and does not have a signature. The logo itself is made in two colors - red and blue. These colors have their own symbolism. Red signifies passion, tradition and integrity, while blue represents grandeur and perfection. The logo first appeared in 1954, in 1958 it was first placed on a Suzuki car. Since then, it has not changed for many decades. History of the car in models Suzuki's first automotive success began with the sale of the first 15 Suzulight cars in 1955. In 1961, the construction of the Toyokawa plant comes to an end. Immediately, the new lightweight cargo vans Suzulight Carry began to enter the market. However, motorcycles still remain the flagships of sales. They become winners in international class races. In 1963, Suzuki motorcycles come to America. A joint project was organized there, which is called US Suzuki Motor Corp. The Suzuki Fronte was introduced in 1967, followed immediately by the Carry Van truck in 1968 and the Jimny small SUV in 1970. The latter is on the market today. In 1978, the owner of SMC Ltd. became Osamu Suzuki - a businessman and relative of Michio Suzuki himself, in 1979 the Alto line was released. The company continues to develop and manufacture motorcycles, as well as engines for motor boats and, later, even all-terrain vehicles. In this area, the Suzuki team is making great strides, inventing many completely new parts and concepts in motorsport. This explains the fact that automotive innovations are produced extremely rarely. So the next model of the car developed by Suzuki Motor Co., Cultus (Swift) already in 1983. In 1981, a contract was signed with General Motors and Isuzu Motors. This union was aimed at further strengthening positions in the motor market. By 1985, Suzuki factories were built in ten countries, and Suzuki of AAC. They begin to produce not only motorcycles, but also cars. Exports to the US are growing rapidly. In 1987, the Cultus line is launched. The global concern is increasing the pace of mechanical engineering. In 1988, the iconic all-wheel drive model Suzuki Escudo (Vitara) enters the car market. 1991 started with a novelty. The first two-seat car of the Cappuccino line is produced. At the same time, there is an expansion to the territory of Korea, which began with the signing of a contract with the Daewoo automobile company. In 1993, the market expands and covers three more states - China, Hungary and Egypt. A new modification called Wagon R is released. In 1995, the Baleno passenger car begins to be produced, and in 1997, a subcompact one-liter Wagon R Wide appears. In the next two years, three more new lines are released - Kei and Grand Vitara for export and Every + (a large seven-seater van). In the 2000s, the Suzuki concern is gaining momentum in the production of cars, making several restyling of existing models and signing agreements on joint production of cars with such global giants as General Motors, Kawasaki and Nissan. At this time, the company releases a new model, the largest car among Suzuki cars - XL-7, the first seven-seater SUV, which became the leader in sales among similar cars. This model immediately entered the American car market, winning everyone's attention and love. In Japan, the Aerio passenger car, the Aerio Sedan, the 7-seat Every Landy, and the MR Wagon minicar entered the market. In total, the company has released more than 15 models of Suzuki cars, has become a leader in the production and modernization of motorbikes. Suzuki has become the flagship of the motorcycle market. Motorcycles of this company are considered the fastest and, at the same time, they are distinguished by quality and are created using the most powerful modern engines and production technologies. In our time, Suzuki has become the largest concern, producing, in addition to cars and motorcycles, even wheelchairs equipped with an electric drive. The approximate turnover of car production is approximately 850 units per year. FAQ: What does the Suzuki logo mean?
