KARAWANG — Toyota Indonesia is strengthening its support for the national energy transition efforts through the development of electric vehicles and alternative fuels based on bio-ethanol. This step aligns with the government’s policy to achieve energy independence and reduce carbon emissions.
Toyota currently offers a wide range of electrified vehicle options. These include hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV). All of them are designed to meet various customer mobility needs. In addition, Toyota, together with the government, is also developing flexy fuel vehicles (FFV) that use bio-ethanol fuel.
Bio-ethanol is a renewable fuel produced from the fermentation of organic materials such as sugarcane and cassava.
In the current energy business context, bio-ethanol serves as a strategic alternative to reduce carbon emissions and lessen dependence on imported fossil fuels.
Electrified vehicle models such as the Innova Zenix Hybrid and Yaris Cross Hybrid, produced in Indonesia, have been exported to various countries. The combined export volume has exceeded 39,000 units. This highlights the readiness of Indonesia’s automotive industry to support the transition toward sustainable electrified mobility starting in 2025. (*)
