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!

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.
