        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2014 Suzuki is using battery technology from Chinese\ncarmaker BYD for the launch of its small e-Sky electric car in\nJapan.<\/p>\n<p>According to a CarNewsChina report on Wednesday (7 October), Suzuki\nhas teamed up with BYD to source electric-vehicle battery technology in\norder to achieve a competitive price.<\/p>\n<p>The Suzuki e-Sky is powered by a 26 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP)\nbattery, giving it a range of up to 310 km under the Worldwide\nHarmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP).<\/p>\n<p>Suzuki said its first electric passenger kei car is built on a newly\ndeveloped dedicated electric-vehicle platform and is equipped with the\ncompany\u2019s own e-Axle drive system.<\/p>\n<p>The e-Sky measures 3,395 mm long, 1,475 mm wide and 1,625 mm high,\nwith a wheelbase of 2,460 mm. It weighs 1,030 kg.<\/p>\n<p>Suzuki is offering three versions of the e-Sky.
