Although, the Toyota Corolla Altis Hybrid is already on sale in Brazil where the main fuel on which it is going to run is being used.
Mr. Gadkari illuminates the importance and the future of this technology saying India is totally dependent on natural fuel such as petrol. Hence, he opened up about the importance of using alternative fuel vehicles and also told that it will reduce the pollution level in the country.

However, Toyota has launched its Corolla Altis Hybrid which is a Flexi Fuel Strong Hybrid electric vehicle, but the bookings and other things will open soon. As it is going to be a pilot project of Toyota in India therefore it will take some time and some other approvals. Recently, the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari unveiled the first look of the car where he was seen driving.
