Toyota Kirloskar Motor TKM participated at the 1st edition of the The India Sugar BioEnergy Conference 2023 held at Delhi during 2122nd Sep 2023 jointly organized by the Indian Sugar Mills Association ISMA the International Sugar Organisation ISO and Government of India by showcasing its Electrified Flex Fuel Vehicles display of two models Through this advanced green vehicle technology the company emphasized the significance of biofuels towards ensuring a disruption free energy transition away from fossil fuel consumption thereby also achieving carbon neutrality The event witnessed around 500 participants including various government representatives industry experts sugar mill owners academia industry bodies media and other dignitaries Further to elaborate over the two days the conference will witness the participation of eminent global and India thought leaders sharing their specialized knowledge on the robust sugar economy and its trades globally and innovative technologies for inclusive growth in the biofuels sector further facilitating the idea sharing and future approaches of sugar and bioenergy industry Early this year in Feb 2023 TKM had exchanged a Memorandum of Understanding with ISMA to popularize the use of ethanol being a clean indigenous renewable and sustainable energy source for the automotive industry in India As a champion of sustainability globally Toyota is committed to achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2050 on a vehicle lifecycle basis and aims to realize Net Zero Carbon in Manufacturing Operations by 2035 Toyota is advancing greener mobility solutions with greater agility by introducing and supporting multiple clean technologies that best aligns to the unique requirements of each market which includes its energy mix consumer acceptance infrastructure readiness and meeting the national objectives of each country We are fully committed to contribute towards Indias goals for becoming Atma Nirbhar in energy by 2047 attain carbon neutrality by 2070 accompanied with increase in local manufacturing which contributes towards the countrys rapid economic growth Recently TKM unveiled the prototype of Worlds First BS 6 Stage II Electrified Flex Fuel Vehicle built on its renowned Innova Hycross This prototype was at display during the ISBEC alongside the ToyotaBrazil manufactured Corolla FlexFuel Strong Hybrid Electric Vehicle demonstrated as Toyotas firstofitskind pilot project in India during Oct 2022 Needless to mention Toyotas efforts towards creating awareness about the Ethanolbased vehicle mobility an advanced technology developed using indigenous and sustainable fuel is well aligned with the recent launch of Global Biofuel Alliance during G20 as announced by our Honble PM Narendra Modi Ji at the G20 summit As one of the most appropriate options ethanol holds tremendous potential for India as it is a renewable clean energy source that can significantly help to shift away from fossil fuel and reduce carbon emissions at a rapid pace and scale Being agriculture based higher use of ethanol as fuel will also increase farmer incomes and create new jobs thereby boosting the agrarian economy besides increasing revenue for the Government The Government also recently launched secondgeneration technologies for producing ethanol from agricultural residues like Agriculture waste parali which is currently otherwise burnt supporting to derive economic value from waste generate greater wealth for the agrarian economy supporting Governments vision wherein farmers will not just be Annadatas but also become Urjadatas with vehicles powered by ethanol produced by proud farmers Furthermore India is well endowed with renewable energy surplus sugar food grains and biomass which offers huge possibilities for a transition to a cleaner energy future which is also indigenous The abundantly available sugarcane excess food grains along with huge biomass waste can be used to produce ethanol that can substitute a significant amount of petrol used by vehicles in the shortest possible time Post 2025 India will have surplus ethanol well beyond the requirement for E20 regime To fully realise the available potential and to maximize the social benefits Flex Fuel Vehicle technologies ie vehicles that can use higher blends of ethanol beyond 20 mix E20 will be required However the challenge with Flex Fuel Vehicles is lower fuel efficiency due to the lower energy density of Ethanol This challenge can be overcome with the use of the electric powertrain in combination with the flex fuel engine to obtain enhanced fuel efficiency As such Electrified Flex Fuel Vehicles provides the twin benefit of higher fuel substitution with ethanol as well as good fuel efficiency due to high ratio of electric mode driving Marking the ISBEC Mr Aditya Jhunjhunwala President of Indian Sugar Mills Association said We are pleased to have Toyota Kirloskar Motor as a valued stakeholder in The India Sugar BioEnergy Conference 2023 Toyotas commitment to sustainability and their focus on biofuels as an indigenous green automotive fuel of the future is well aligned with our vision of promoting ethanol rural economy and ecofriendly transportation solutions in India Through these milestone initiatives we aim to create greater awareness understanding and collaboration on the importance of biofuels and their benefits amongst consumers policymakers and industry stakeholders etc ISMA collectively is extremely thankful to the government for announcing the global biofuel alliance and we will make every effort to contribute towards making this a big success further gain from the learnings through such international collaboration Together we can pave the way for a cleaner and more sustainable future in the automotive sector and contribute to the larger goal of reducing carbon emissions and fossil fuel consumption in our country Sharing his views on Toyotas participation at the ISBEC Mr Vikram Gulati Country Head and Executive Vice President Toyota Kirloskar Motor said Toyota will continue its relentless efforts in contributing to future innovations by promoting sustainable technological advancements in the green mobility space Toyota believes that carbon is the real enemy and hence continues to offer wider choices to customers with various vehicle powertrain technologies including Electrified Flex Fuel Vehicle Given the Indian context we foresee a huge potential for ethanol as it is an Indigenous and clean energy source that can significantly reduce fossil fuel consumption and carbon emissions We are thrilled to be a part of the The India Sugar BioEnergy Conference 2023 Such important platforms reflect the benefit of the joint initiatives with robust efforts by various key stakeholders in finding practical solutions that are best suited to promote energy security and green mobility in the country He added further The India Sugar BioEnergy Conference 2023 serves as a unique platform for various stakeholders jointly sharing thoughtful insights towards realising sustainability and the vast uses and applications of biofuels TKM represented by Mr Vikram Gulati Country Head and Executive Vice President will be actively participating as a key speaker in one of the sessions focusing on Bioenergy Policies Regulation Framework in line with Toyotas multifaceted approach to promote sustainable and green mobility Being at the forefront of electrified vehicle technology and as a socially responsible corporate entity TKM will continue to advance with its holistic progressive innovations by adopting cleaner vehicle technologies thereby contributing to the Mass Happiness of All.
