NAGOYA -- Toyota Motor will supply its hybrid technology to Suzuki Motor for use in markets across the world, part of an expanded collaboration aimed at bolstering their respective strengths in markets like China and India.

"The biggest benefit is that we can broaden the lineup of electrified vehicles in India," a Suzuki official said. As India moves to electrify its automobile fleet to fight pollution, Suzuki aims to jazz up its hybrid offerings with Toyota's fuel-efficient system.
