Vikram Gulati, Country Head of Toyota Kirloskar Motor, advocated for the use of greener internal combustion engines (ICE) as part of India's clean mobility strategy, highlighting their potential to support sustainable transportation in the Global South. He emphasized the need for a multi-path powertrain approach, recognizing India's strengths in alternative fuels like ethanol and biogas, while noting that a singular focus on battery-electric vehicles is impractical for the country's diverse market.
