Liters x Kilos of Suzuki, or how efficient driving is associated with the most refined social responsibility to generate an exceptional impact on society

What Suzuki Motor Ibérica does every year is something to be more than proud of, whether as a member or as a partner of a brand, in this case Suzuki. For its employees, customers and dealer network, or in collaboration mode, in this case for the specialized journalists who strive to reduce the consumption of the Suzuki, already very tight, in order to generate more food to donate.

Its president, Juan López Frade, acknowledges that it is the event he enjoys most each year and states that it has been highly valued even in Japan, as a very recognizable activity, a true worldwide “best practice.” And this is no joke: after this, the tenth edition of the Liters x Kilos charity campaign, Suzuki Motor Ibérica has already donated a whopping more than 38 tonnes of food! to the Food Bank, an effort that has a strong and very positive impact on society. Furthermore, this year, in its tenth edition, the food donation will go entirely to the families affected by the DANA in Valencia, thereby improving the quality of life of thousands of people who lost nearly everything just a few months ago.

Tenth edition of the Liters x Kilos charity initiative by Suzuki

In this tenth edition of the already traditional charity initiative, Liters x Kilos, the participating journalists in the mini consumption test got behind the wheel of the new generation of the Suzuki Swift Mild Hybrid, in both its manual and automatic versions, with exceptional results, achieving a minimal consumption of 2.6 l/100 km in the manual gearbox category, which represents 40.9% less than the homologated consumption, and 3.0 l/100 km in the automatic gearbox category, which represents 36.2% less than the homologated consumption of the small Swift. Thanks to these results and after applying a magic formula that only Suzuki knows, the journalists managed to achieve no less than 3,337.5 kilos of food that the Japanese brand will donate to the Food Bank of Valencia.

Liters x Kilos by Suzuki consists of forming teams of two journalists from the automotive sector, who must complete a set route in open traffic conditions. The objective is to perform optimal efficient driving to reduce the homologated consumption as much as possible, in this case of the new Suzuki Swift, the star of this edition, a model equipped with an 82 CV mild-hybrid three-cylinder engine that delivers a consumption of 4.4 l/100 km in the manual version and 4.7 l/100 km in the automatic, which are the figures the participants must reduce.

In the end, in this edition the winning teams were, in the manual category, Alfonso Aguilera (Voz Pópuli) and Borja Fadón (El Semanal Digital), who achieved a consumption of only 2.6 l/100 km, while among the automatic gearbox entries, the winners were Guillermo Rodríguez (CAR) and Nacho Torres (Pedal a Fondo) with a consumption of 3.0 l/100 km. The overall average of the 20 participating pairs was below the homologated consumption: 2.82 l/100 km in the manual category and 3.1 l/100 km in the automatic.

This tenth edition of Liters x Kilos is particularly important this year because the aid is being directed to the families affected by the DANA in Valencia. With Liters x Kilos, Suzuki reaffirms its commitment to efficiency and solidarity, demonstrating that small gestures can make a difference in the lives of many people.
