Huge shift towards Battery Electric Vehicles

Japanese auto giant Toyota Motor Corporation’s comprehensive strategy to move to electric vehicles over the next decade or so has been finally laid out. The carmaker has made it clear that it has no intentions of ceding its position as one of the leading automakers even when popular powertrains shift from internal combustion (petrol, diesel and gas) to electric motors.

That could greatly benefit India’s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki. There is already partnership between the two companies with models being shared with different names and cosmetic changes and that could extend to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) as well.
