The vehicle was launched this Wednesday (17) at S\u00e3o Paulo State government seat Pal\u00e1cio dos Bandeirantes.<\/p>\n<p>Boasting Brazilian technology, the Toyota Corolla will come equipped with two engines, one electric and the other bi-fuel. The automobile isn\u2019t designed for wall plug recharging, since Brazilian roads aren\u2019t adapted to that end. The electric propulsion is battery-based, with energy originating from the combustion engine. Fuel consumption is expected to decrease by over 20%.<\/p>\n<p>The Toyota project saw BRL 1.6 billion (USD 411 million) in investment and is expected to create 900 direct jobs. \u201cThe most important thing about it is we are bringing technology to Brazil. This hybrid bi-fuel technology combines two very clean technologies \u2013 hybrid and ethanol,\u201d said Toyota do Brasil chairman Rafael Chang (<em>pictured, on the left<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a very important industry, because it\u2019s job- and technology-intensive, with a robust complementary network of dealerships and suppliers. It\u2019s a highly relevant production chain,\u201d said governor Jo\u00e3o Doria (<em>on the right<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>The new Corolla will hit the market in October and will likely get exported to Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Peru and Colombia next year. The price is yet to be disclosed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-212655\">Press Release<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Toyota Corolla equipped with two engines \u2013 one electric, the other gasoline- and ethanol-fueled \u2013 will be made in the state of S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2316,"featured_media":212655,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[5311,5953,8255,5952,8256,19049,8253,8254],"class_list":{"0":"post-212657","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-innovation","8":"tag-auto","9":"tag-automobile","10":"tag-bi-fuel","11":"tag-car","12":"tag-hybrid","13":"tag-industria-en-2","14":"tag-joao-doria","15":"tag-toyota-corolla"},"wps_subtitle":"A Toyota Corolla equipped with two engines \u2013 one electric, the other gasoline- and ethanol-fueled \u2013 will be made in the state of S\u00e3o Paulo.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2316"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212657"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212657\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/212655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
