During Vladimir Putin’s visit to India, PM Narendra Modi chose Toyota Fortuner, which sent the message of ‘Make in India’ and gave a symbolic reply to European brands. Convoys usually consist of armored vehicles, and support cars such as Fortuner and Innova are added for operational flexibility. But this time the simple number plate of the Fortuner attracted attention, because vehicles with special plates or without number are usually used in VIP movements.
