Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) presented its sustainable mobility portfolio at India Energy Week 2025, reaffirming its commitment to India’s energy independence and net-zero goals. The four-day event, which commenced on February 11 in Delhi, brings together industry leaders and policymakers to discuss clean energy solutions.
Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) showcased a diverse range of sustainable mobility solutions at India Energy Week 2025, emphasizing its multi-pathway approach to reducing fossil fuel dependence and carbon footprint. Aligning with India’s energy mix, consumer needs, and the ‘Atma Nirbhar’ vision, TKM focuses on locally developing clean technologies under ‘Make in India.’
At the event, Toyota exhibits:
- Strong Hybrid Electric Vehicle (SHEV) – Innova Hycross, featuring an efficient hybrid system and E20 compliance.
- Flex-Fuel Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (FFV-PHEV) – Prius prototype utilizing up to 100% ethanol (biofuel) alongside electrification for minimal well-to-wheel emissions.
- Urban Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) Concept – A futuristic, all-electric model.
- Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) – Mirai, powered by hydrogen as the fuel of the future.
- Electric Vehicle Sub-System – A locally manufactured e-Drive, a key powertrain component for all electrified vehicles.
Through these innovations, TKM aims to accelerate the shift toward sustainable transportation at scale.
As India experiences rapid economic growth and rising vehicle sales, a full range of clean technologies—including electrified vehicles and alternative fuels—is essential. Ethanol, as an indigenous and clean energy source, offers significant benefits by reducing fossil fuel consumption, lowering the energy import bill, and cutting carbon emissions. Additionally, increased ethanol use supports the rural economy by boosting farmer incomes, creating jobs, and generating government revenue from surplus crops. The government’s push for second-generation ethanol production from agricultural residues like parali further enhances sustainability by preventing air pollution and turning waste into wealth.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Vikram Gulati, Country Head & Executive Vice President – Corporate Affairs and Governance, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, emphasized the significance of India Energy Week in uniting energy, mobility, and technology stakeholders to drive awareness and progress in clean energy and sustainable mobility. He highlighted Toyota’s commitment to holistic environmental stewardship through the Toyota Global Environmental Challenge 2050 (TEC 2050), launched in 2015 to address critical issues such as carbon emissions, water scarcity, and biodiversity loss. Guided by the principle of creating a net positive impact, TEC 2050 focuses on clean energy adoption and enhanced energy efficiency to decarbonize plant operations and the entire value chain.
“At Toyota, we firmly believe that a multi-pathway approach is essential for accelerating the energy transition and reducing carbon emissions in the mobility sector,” he added.
Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) is advancing sustainable mobility by integrating renewable energy, localizing production, and enhancing skill development under ‘Make in India’ to build a globally competitive manufacturing ecosystem. Committed to clean energy adoption, TKM achieved 100% renewable energy in its manufacturing electricity grid by FY 2021-22, reducing 447,253 tons of CO₂ since FY 2013-14. Additionally, energy efficiency measures across operations and suppliers have cut 62,351 tons of CO₂ emissions. TKM has also optimized logistics by shifting 65% of northern transport routes to rail, reducing emissions by 7.7 kg per vehicle in FY 2023-24. Furthering sustainability, 89.3% of its production water needs are met through recycling and rainwater harvesting, reinforcing its alignment with India’s Net Zero vision.
Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) is committed to strengthening local manufacturing and workforce development to make green technologies more accessible and affordable, aligning with its ‘Grow India – Grow with India’ vision. Key initiatives include localizing electric vehicle components, with Toyota Kirloskar Auto Parts (TKAP) becoming the first in Asia (outside Japan) to manufacture e-Drive systems for domestic and export markets. TKM has also trained over 139 suppliers in carbon neutrality initiatives and upskilled 180,000 youth through partnerships with 100+ institutions. Government support through enabling policies will be crucial in accelerating clean energy adoption, fostering a robust local manufacturing ecosystem, generating employment, and driving sustainable industrial growth.
