more-inCar maker Toyota is upbeat about the prospects for its hybrid vehicles in India, especially as it believes the process of mass adoption of electric vehicles in the country is likely to go beyond the 2030 deadline. “Clearly we do have plans to launch more hybrid vehicles, strong hybrid vehicles,” Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) vice chairman Shekar Viswanathan said during a media interaction at the launch of Yaris sedan here on Thursday. “We have sold more than 11 million hybrid vehicles across the world. At present, the only hybrid car TKM, the joint venture of Toyota and Kirloskar Group, sells in India is Camry, that it imports on a CKD basis. Besides hybrid, it will be BS-VI compliant vehicles for which “a lot of us will be waiting,” he added.
