- Sumitomo Riko fuel-line resin hose enters Brezza production.
- Multilayer resin construction reduces fuel permeation and VOC emissions.
Sumitomo Riko fuel-line resin hose has been adopted for Maruti Suzuki India’s SUV, the Brezza, with mass production now underway following an announcement on August 6. The hose is installed in the fuel line connecting the fuel filler inlet with the fuel tank, where it helps reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated by fuel. The adoption marks the application of a resin-based hose solution designed to address fuel permeation while supporting emissions-control requirements for the vehicle. Sumitomo Riko is supplying the component as part of its efforts to develop products for next-generation mobility applications.
The newly adopted hose replaces a conventional rubber hose with a multilayer resin structure that suppresses fuel permeation and consequently reduces VOC emissions. The product complies with India’s BS6 Phase 3 emissions regulations, which are scheduled to be introduced and strengthened from 2027. The technology is therefore positioned to support evolving vehicle emissions requirements while maintaining its application in the Brezza fuel system. Sumitomo Riko plans to continue developing and supplying products for next-generation mobility, with its activities aimed at contributing to reduced environmental impact as well as improved safety and comfort. Sumitomo Riko Co., Ltd. and India remain central to the product’s development and regulatory context.
