In a move that will make Maruti Suzuki the export hub of small cars, the first consignment of Maruti Suzuki's A-star has been exported to Europe. The consignment left for export in a specially designed Auto Wagon Railway Rake from Gurgaon railway station.
Earlier, Maruti had announced to scale up the export of its existing models to one hundred thousand units. Simultaneously, Maruti Suzuki will export large volumes of A star to European markets in early 2009. Suzuki has chosen India as an exclusive base for manufacturing and export of A star to all major European markets.
