Toyota and Suzuki plans to join hands to support green roads in India
"Green Vehicles Plying Plan" is at the center stage where the Japanese automakers Toyota Motor Corporation and Suzuki plan to introduce more CNG variants on the road.
Toyota already has CNG variants in place in Japan, and Suzuki's Indian subsidiary Maruti Suzuki already sells CNG vehicles in India. Though Toyota has the technology of CNG, the company prefers to source its CNG variants from Maruti Suzuki to achieve economies of scale. The two Japanese majors are gearing up to drive green in India.
With BS-VI norms around the corner, all OEMs are contemplating on the alternate fuel possibilities. The Indian government accepts that CNG is a cleaner fuel, and it would abide by the emission norms. The same fuel has been accepted for transportation purposes and supporting the same, and the government is setting up 10,000 CNG outlets.
