Toyota made quite a few changes in their corporate governance last year. Main reason behind these changes was to accelerate the company’s focus and investment in electric cars. In 2023, we were presented with battery strategies, new concepts and big plans going forward.
During the Indian summit Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit that ended today, Toyota’s Indian management repeated the promises of the electric cars of the future from the Japanese manufacturer.
– We will launch our electric cars with solid state batteries in a couple of years from now. It will be an electric car that will charge in ten minutes, will deliver a range of 1,200 kilometers and have a very good life expectancy, said Vikram Gulati, head of Toyota Kirloskar Motor.
India as a country has decided to move away from fossil fuels and invest more in electric cars and other electric vehicles. Just over two percent of vehicle sales are electric today. However, the government aims to reach 30 percent by 2030. This will correspond to 10 million sold electric cars in 2030. Analysts predict that it can go even faster than that.
