The Ritz features some impressive industry firsts as far
as technologies go. Here's a quick look at some of them
MUL seems to be going the complete distance to ensure that the
Ritz manages to make an impact on the cut-throat A-2 hatchback space.
Giving the car some added firepower are some interesting new tech-features
that will help the Ritz distinguish itself from the competition.
We've already seen how the new and ultra-low emissions K12M engine
will make the Ritz India's first BS-IV ready passenger car. Engineers
from the company have gone one step further and made design modifications
to the engine to ensure E10 compatibility - meaning that the Ritz
will be able to run on 10% ethanol-petrol blend - whenever the Government
decides to implement the sale of such fuel.
With the growing involvement and dependence of vehicle mechanisms
on electronics, it has become necessary to ensure that the electronics
of the car do not malfunction when subject to disturbances emanating
from communication towers, high voltage power transmission lines
and communication devices. Although such Electro-Magnetic Compatibility
(EMC) tests are mandatory in Europe, it yet has to be implemented
in India. The Ritz however is the first Indian passenger car to
have cleared these tests at VRDE's recently established EMC facility.
To ensure eco-friendliness, the Ritz does not use ecologically
harmful substances like chromium, cadmium, mercury etc. This move
will also make the Ritz completely safe to recycle for salvaging
materials.
Providing safety for its consumers like in all of its other cars,
the company will also be providing the i-CATS (intelligent Computerised
Anti-theft System) on all the variants of the Ritz as well.
