Toyota Kirloskar Motor outlines a multi-pathway approach to sustainable mobility in India. The strategy emphasizes the role of strong hybrids and flex-fuel vehicles as immediate solutions to reduce carbon emissions and reliance on imported fossil fuels, especially given India's current coal-heavy power grid. Vikram Gulati argues for technology-neutral policies that prioritize well-to-wheel emissions over tailpipe-only metrics. By leveraging indigenous ethanol production and hybrid efficiency, India can address energy security and urban pollution while transitioning toward long-term net-zero goals.
