Toyota opposes compulsory use of biodiesel
Toyota Motor Thailand has voiced concerns over the Energy Ministry's plan to launch a compulsory measure to promote biodiesel, saying that the state should wait until raw material supplies are stable and biodiesel standards have improved.
Ninnart Chaithirapinyo, vice chairman of Toyota's Thai business unit, said Thursday that the ministry should now focus on promoting the production of biodiesel at community level as well as campaigning for higher consumption.
"The government should not compel refiners to mix B100formula biodiesel in diesel, not until it is ready in terms of raw materials and the standards of biodiesel are improved," he said on the sidelines of the opening of the 28th Bangkok International Motor Show.
