In India, The Times of India reported that Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said he will unveil a 100% ethanol-fueled variant of Toyota’s Innova car on August 29.
The Union minister, who has been exhorting automakers to come out with alternative fuel-powered and green vehicles, had last year launched a hydrogen-powered car, Toyota Mirai EV.
“On August 29, I am going to launch the popula Innova car on 100% ethanol,” Gadkari said.
Gadkari noted that he started taking an interest in biofuels in 2004 after the petrol price hike in the country and visited Brazil for this purpose, the report stated.
