Toyota Will Be the Representative of Flex Hybrid Technology in India, Which Has Been Produced in Brazilian Territory for More Than Two Years

Toyota, the global leader in vehicle manufacturing, this week launched the hybrid flex Corolla sedan – the first in the world to use this technology and produced in Brazil – alongside a delegation of Brazilian government leaders, UNICA (the Sugarcane Industry Union), the automotive industry, and national capital goods, aiming to build an integrated agenda for reducing emissions in the vehicle transport matrix in India, focusing on biofuels and flexfuel technology vehicles, used in Brazil for almost two decades.

The Toyota Brazil is represented by Roberto Braun, Director of Government Affairs and Regulatory Affairs, who has the mission to showcase one of the most viable possibilities in terms of sustainable mobility: flex hybrid technology, manufactured by Toyota on Brazilian soil in the municipalities of Indaiatuba (SP) and Sorocaba (SP), with the Corolla sedan and Corolla Cross models, respectively, for more than two years. 

According to the automaker, one of the main goals of the mission will be the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the countries for technical cooperation in the area of sustainable mobility. 

Toyota Is a Leader in the Electrification of the Brazilian Automotive Market

Toyota takes pride in its pioneering spirit and leadership in the electrification of the Brazilian automotive market. Since the arrival of the Prius in 2013, more than 50,000 electrified vehicles of the brand have been sold. In 2022, Toyota’s electrified models accounted for 56% of all sales of this type of vehicle, according to data from Anfavea.

This year, Toyota Brazil is celebrating the third anniversary of flex hybrid technology, introduced for the first time in the world with the launch of the 12th generation of the Corolla sedan in September 2019. Since then, sales of Toyota models offering the unprecedented powertrain have surpassed 35,000 units by March 2022.

This volume of flex hybrid vehicles has helped prevent approximately 10,800 tons of CO2 from being emitted into the atmosphere. The reference value was extracted from the vehicle emissions report of the State of São Paulo, issued by CETESB, which considers the following scenario: percentage of gasoline consumption used by owners/users of flex vehicles (which is equal to 40%) and the average annual mileage they travel (of about 13,000 km to 14,000 km per year)
