Automaker Highlights Advances in Clean Technologies Such as Biogas During G20 in Foz do Iguaçu

During the G20 in Foz do Iguaçu, Toyota unveiled its latest developments in clean technologies with the launch of two innovative prototypes that promise to significantly reduce pollutant emissions. The Japanese automaker presented the New Prius Plug-In Hybrid Flex and a version of the Hilux powered by biogas, reaffirming its commitment to sustainability and the transition to cleaner and efficient mobility, according to the website Notícias Automotivas.

These new models are aligned with global decarbonization efforts, offering alternatives that combine biofuels and electrification, key factors for reducing environmental impacts caused by the automotive sector.

Prius Plug-In Hybrid Flex: The Evolution of Electrification

The standout was the New Prius Plug-In Hybrid Flex, a plug-in hybrid that represents the new generation of the Japanese liftback. With advanced technology, the vehicle not only uses ethanol, a fuel widely used in Brazil, but it can also be charged externally, thanks to its lithium-ion battery. This flex hybrid system allows the vehicle to use both electricity and biofuels, maximizing energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions.

Hilux Powered by Biogas: Clean and Renewable Energy

Another highlight of the event was the Hilux powered by biogas, an innovation that uses a renewable and less polluting fuel. Biogas is produced from organic waste, such as sugarcane, a resource widely available in Brazil. With this system, the Hilux becomes a promising alternative for the rural sector, especially in regions that produce biogas in biodigesters or large plants.

Biogas provides a sustainable solution for fuel production in the country, complementing the production cycle of ethanol and providing a more efficient and ecological energy matrix. With this technology, Toyota hopes to strengthen the use of renewable fuels and promote a cleaner and more competitive industry.

Esse Prius vem para o Brasil então? Até hoje foi dito que não viria. Se vier será meu próximo Prius, com certeza absoluta. Melhor carro que já tive (tenho o quarta geração hoje). Faço, em média, 21km/l. Um espetáculo de carro.

Troquei o meu antigo Corolla por um BYD Dolphin. Não me arrependo! Com o Dolphin, faço 400 km por “nenhum litro de combustível”. Só ligar na tomada e curtir a vida! Toyota nunca mais!

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows in Argentine Patagonia the exact point where a colossal glacier, a turquoise-blue lake, and a greenish arm of water meet, creating one of the rarest and most impressive landscapes in the region.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

Welcome to Chongqing, the most cyberpunk city in the world, that takes you to the future in the blink of an eye.

The Brazilian president sent a direct message to Trump, Putin, Xi Jinping, and Macron, calling them all warlords and demanding that they fulfill their obligation to ensure peace.

While Mazda succeeded with the rotary engine, China attempted to apply it in trucks, but the low torque, high consumption, and wear led to the failure of the TJ140 project.

At the same time that a traditional farmer plants lettuce in the field and waits up to 90 days for the harvest, a single Japanese factory produces 30,000 heads of lettuce per day, without soil, without pesticides, and not dependent on the season, with automated harvesting that surprises the world.

Petrobras made two discoveries in the pre-salt of the Campos Basin in less than 30 days: “excellent quality” oil in Marlim Sul in March and hydrocarbons at 2,984 meters in April.

Italians are taking the classic Fiat Panda out of the garage, removing the gasoline engine and installing an electric system that runs 110 km for just 3 euros of recharge, and it even has the option to install a solar panel on the roof that adds 15 km of range per day.

How much does it cost to maintain a 2019 Corolla at a basic level? The owner shows maintenance with oil change, filters, tire rotation, and cleaning.

While many focus only on batteries, Toyota is heavily investing in electric trucks with third-generation fuel cells and has signed an agreement with Isuzu for the mass production of a light model expected to arrive in 2027.

The first automaker in the world to promise 1,000 real kilometers with a solid-state battery already has a production line set up, 50 cars in operation, and a date set for September 2026.
