Report: Toyota To Intro Cars That Run On Ethanol And Gasoline In Brazil

TOKYO (AP) _ Toyota is introducing cars that run on ethanol and gasoline in Brazil, a major Japanese business newspaper reported Tuesday, at a time when such flexible-fuel vehicles are growing in popularity there.

According to the Nikkei, Toyota is set to unveil Corolla subcompacts that run on ethanol, gasoline or a mixture of the two fuels, and plans to switch models the Japanese automakers produces in Brazil to flex-fuel cars.

Toyota Motor Corp. spokesman Paul Nolasco said the company was expected to make an announcement soon related to the Nikkei report, but declined to elaborate.
