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)

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

The largest precious metals mine under construction in the world is situated on a layer of ore 25 times thicker than common mines in South Africa, and has just connected a third shaft that will quintuple the extraction of platinum, palladium, and gold.

Neither human nor dinosaur: ancestral skeleton nearly 1,000 years old found on eroded road in Australia intrigues archaeologists by the way it was buried

Bolivia requests a plane from the Lula government to distribute humanitarian aid amid protests, roadblocks, fuel shortages, and food scarcity in cities like La Paz.

Helicopters drop 9,000 discarded Christmas trees into New Orleans swamps to transform discarded trunks into natural barriers, rebuild nearly 330 football fields of wetlands, and strengthen the city’s defense against waves, erosion, and hurricanes.

How much would a Toyota Corolla cost without tax in Brazil? A mid-size sedan priced at R$ 171,000 could drop to around R$ 96,000, showing how much the tax burden weighs on the most desired car of the Brazilian middle class.
