Local innovation with global standards
A highlight of the event was the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid Flex, a hybrid SUV capable of running on bioethanol derived from locally grown sugarcane. This adaptability makes it a vehicle that aligns with both sustainability goals and Colombia’s territorial strengths.
Automotores Toyota Colombia believes that biofuels in sustainable mobility are not just a trend, but a viable and strategic solution. Brazil’s success story with bioethanol integration serves as a valuable reference for the region.
Regulatory framework as a cornerstone
The conference also emphasized the urgent need for a new biofuels law. Experts called for a clear roadmap for fuel blending, stronger market signals, and real incentives for production and consumption. Without these, the energy transition will face delays.
Looking ahead to Latam Mobility Summit Colombia 2025
The dialogue around biofuels in sustainable mobility will continue at the Latam Mobility Summit Colombia 2025, to be held in Medellín. Toyota, already confirmed as a participant, will share its technological innovations and regional strategies for cleaner transport systems. Collaboration between automakers, the biofuel industry, and policymakers will be central to the discussion.
A comprehensive, forward-thinking approach
Toyota believes sustainability is a continuous process that must combine innovation with local opportunities. Colombia’s agricultural potential gives it the ability to become a regional leader in sustainable mobility based on biofuels.
Embracing biofuels in sustainable mobility helps reduce emissions, boost rural economies, and support a more inclusive energy transition.
