TOYOTA TO ROLL OUT 11 NEW
HYBRID VEHICLES BY 2012
Toyota outlined some of its new innovation targets for eco- cars and next-generation electric vehicle battery research.
According to its latest plans, Toyota has 11 hybrid vehicle
models planned for introduction by the end of 2012 (both new models and redesigned models).
It plans a plug-in Prius hybrid vehicle introduction by the
start of 2012.
It plans to bring the iQ “urban city car” to the United
States, Europe and Japan in the same year. For those who don’t like to think small, the RAV4 EV electric concept car that Toyota is developing with Tesla Motors is on display at the Los Angeles Auto Show until the end of November. The second generation vehicle boasts a potential range of 100 miles. Toyota is also working on extending the performance of the batteries.
It has about 100 people working on this challenge, both
on solid-state batteries and on metal-air batteries. Here’s Toyota view on where it needs to focus “To achieve sustainable mobility, municipalities, state agencies, public transit authorities, urban planners, industry, community representatives and others have certain responsibilities in the mobility system must come together to forge a comprehensive vision and strategy to collectively reduce impacts over time.
Toyota’s primary responsibility in this effort is to provide
technologically advanced vehicles to the marketplace that reduce environmental impacts, eventually replacing conventional automobiles. We do not believe that sustainable mobility will be achieve with a single technological solution, so we have undertaken a broad Comprehensive Environmental Technology (CET) approach to advanced vehicle technologies, with hybrids at the core.” HIGHLIGHTS Toyota’s vehicles exceed the U.S. Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for cars and light-duty trucks.
Collectively, the company has reduced the amount of
energy it takes to produce per vehicle in North America by 20 percent, compared with levels in 2000 THANK YOU..
