Toyota Camry Flex Fuel Car: India is soon going to witness flex-fuel two-wheelers and four-wheelers, which will be a great alternative to electric vehicles. According to a news of Hindustan Times, while giving information during an event in Nagpur, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said that vehicles running on flex fuel will soon be introduced in the country. Which will start with Toyota Camry. Which will be launched in August. Emphasizing once again, Gadkari said that apart from electric vehicles, other options are also needed. So that dependence on petrol-diesel vehicles can be reduced.
Currently, the Toyota Camry has been sold as a strong hybrid for many years, which uses the same conventional petrol-engine and electric motor. Which is capable of giving mileage up to 21.1 km/l. However, an increase can be seen in it. At the same time, ethanol-based Toyota Camry is already being sold in countries like Brazil. Apart from this, the cost of flex fuel vehicles will not skyrocket like electric vehicles, and it is also expected that this car can be economical as compared to the strong hybrid variant. The current price of which is Rs 45.71 lakh ex-showroom.
Vehicles running on flex fuel will be seen only around petrol/diesel vehicles in terms of price. For these vehicles, the companies making them will have to make some minor changes in the petrol engine. So that these engines can work on highly blended fuel. For which car manufacturers will have to install some additional sensors in the fuel tanks of these vehicles. So that these sensors can detect the amount of ethanol present in the fuel and supply fuel to the engine as per the requirement.
Along with this, the Union Minister said that work is also going on for two-wheeler vehicles running on ethanol. Which big companies like Bajaj, Hero and TVS are engaged in execution. So that fuel flex vehicles can be brought into the mainstream. Along with this, proper infrastructure will also be required for its demand and supply.
At present, India is the largest sugarcane producing country in the world and produces ethanol in large quantities. Due to which, recently 20 percent ethanol blend has been started in 11 states of the country. On the other hand, due to more dependence on ethanol, in the next three to four years, up to Rs 30,000 crore can be saved on oil imports.
