Kanoo CEO, Mr. Michael Brightmore, spoke about Toyota Motor Corporation’s efforts in the sustainable mobility and its pioneering hybrid electric technology: “Toyota is proud to support the Mobility 360 Conference and showcases its leading hybrid electric vehicle technology. Toyota has been promoting hybrid electric and sustainable mobility since the Prius debut in 1997 as the world’s first mass produced hybrid electric passenger car. Today in Bahrain we offer the Prius and the ever popular Camry in hybrid electric and have been working continuously to educate our customers and the public about the massive economic and environmental benefits.”
The conference brought together high profile automotive manufacturers, automotive solution providers, infrastructure developers, automotive and mobility consultants and researchers from across the GCC, India and Spain to share their expertise during the two day event.
Presentations, panel discussions and workshops discussed key topics crucial to building a sustainable economy and the current usage of hybrid electric vehicles in the GCC, the future of urban mobility, the ideal infrastructure and evolving technologies in alternate energy vehicles.
