ABOVE: Toyota Hybrid and FCEV models

Toyota will continue hybrids and plug-in hybrids, such as Corolla Hybrid, so that these and the EVs will make 70% of the Toyota/Lexus sales by 2030. Toyota expects to sell approximately 8 million electrified vehicles worldwide by 2030. 2 million of those will be will be BEVs and FCEVs.

“For over 30 years, Toyota has been innovating and investing in technology to reduce vehicle emissions and achieve carbon reductions,” said Chris Reynolds, chief administrative officer, Toyota Motor North America. ”And, although some people believe concentrating resources on one possible solution will achieve the goal more quickly, we believe investing in many different solutions will actually be a faster way to achieve carbon neutrality around the world.”

Toyota claims it has had more electrified vehicles than all automakers combined. It started in 1997 with the first generation electric RAV4-EV, followed by Prius, a petrol-electric hybrid. In 2015, Toyota launched its first emissions-free, FCEV (fuel Cell Electric Vehicle), the Mirai.

Toyota has since added hybrid electric powertrains to money models, so there are now 17 electric models include HEVs, PHEVs, and FCEV. Toyota says there are more on the way.

Toyota’s hybrid models have saved 139 million tons of greenhouse-gas emissions worldwide–76 million tons in the U.S. To this end, the environmental impact of HEVs, PHEVs and FCEVs has been profound.

Toyota believes consumer choice of alternative powertrains can help transition to an all-electric future. Toyota is pushing a substantial carbon reduction every year until the recharging infrastructure and costs of BEVs make them an attractive, affordable choice for all consumers everywhere.

Toyota will push to solve charging cost issues by perusing policymakers to regulate, and to encourage consumers toward a carbon neutral world.
