Toyota has launched the pilot project on Flexi-Fuel Strong Hybrid Electric Vehicle Technology in Delhi. The Company was highly motivated and truly grateful for the gracious presence and strong support of Hon’ble Shri. Nitin Jairam Gadkari, Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Hon’ble Dr.Mahendra Nath Pandey, Union Minister of Heavy Industries, and other officials.
Flexi fuel-strong Hybrid electric vehicle technology (FFV – SHEV) has been introduced by Toyota has the lowest Well-to-Wheel (W2W) carbon emissions for any technology in the country. An FFV– SHEV has a Flexi Fuel engine and an electric power train, thus providing dual benefit of higher ethanol use and greater fuel efficiency, as it can run for significant time periods on its EV mode, wherein the engine is shut off.
The FFV-SHEV has much higher economic multiplier benefits, as it can hasten local manufacturing of electric and flexi-fuel power train parts, thus providing a disruption free & low risk industry and energy transition. As this technology provides the opportunity to benefit from both electrification and bio-fuel energy pathways, it enables a faster reduction of fossil fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, as well as boosting the agrarian economy.
