Toyota City, Japan, August 5, 2010—Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) announces that cumulative sales in Japan of its hybrid vehicles have topped the 1-million mark, while more than 2.68 million units have been sold globally as of July 31, 2010. In August 1997 in Japan, TMC launched its first hybrid vehicle, the Toyota "Coaster Hybrid EV" minibus. In December of the same year, TMC launched the Toyota "Prius"—the world's first mass-produced hybrid vehicle.
The use of the Toyota hybrid system was subsequently expanded to such vehicles as minivans, SUVs and rear-wheel-drive sedans. In 2009, TMC broadened its range of hybrid vehicles further with the launch of the third-generation Prius, as well as two other dedicated hybrid vehicles, the Lexus "HS250h" and the Toyota "Sai". Currently, nine TMC-produced hybrid passenger vehicle models and three hybrid commercial vehicle models are sold in Japan. |

Ridicule, Recession and Recalls. It would appear that hybrids have survived them all. With Nissan going electric, Ford focusing on hybrids and plug-ins and Toyota getting involved in every “sustainable motoring” project that looks viable, the next 5 years in terms of hybrid car market share will be very interesting indeed. |
