    Marcos expressed his appreciation to Toyota for its recent P5.5-billion investment intended for the production of the Philippine-made next generation Tamaraw — known regionally as the Toyota Innovative International Multi-Purpose Vehicle (IMV) 0 (Zero).

    The said amount covers vehicle production, parts localization, and the establishment of a new in-house vehicle conversion facility.

    Aside from the next-generation Toyota Tamaraw, TMP also showcased the Corolla Cross H2 Concept before the country’s chief executive to underscore the brand’s multi-pronged approach towards sustainable mobility.

    Continuously being developed by Toyota Gazoo Racing in Japan, the hydrogen-powered concept crossover utilizes hydrogen gas supplied by a local producer and filled through a Hydrogen Refueling Station (HRS) exclusively imported from an end-use application provider in Malaysia.

    “For Toyota’s point of view, we would like to provide the most suitable vehicle technology for the country’s specific energy strategy. Matching multi-pathways with energy, Toyota has many powertrains available and currently being developed,” said Toyota Asia Region Chief Executive Officer Masahiko Maeda.
