Toyota Suggests Its Hybrids May Help Reduce Emissions More Than EVs via insideevs.com
Sean Hanley, recently debuted the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid. According to, after his speech, the VP fielded questions from the media. Of course, he was asked about the automaker's EV plans and overall progress in reducing its carbon footprint. Electrek reported that the executive appeared to get somewhat defensive.
Hanley said Toyota isn't opposed to battery-electric vehicles , but that carbon neutrality requires"taking everyone on the journey." He added that carbon is the enemy in this situation, not a car's powertrain.
The Toyota exec provide an example of his reasoning, which, as we mentioned above, parallels previous comments from other Toyota officials, including CEO Akio Toyoda. First, he defended Toyota against the critics by sharing: "We are the only car company that represents 30 percent of our sales that are hybrid right now. That is playing a role in reducing ."
Electrek says that Toyota calculates that three hybrids are about equal to one fully electric model . The publication goes on to suggest that the company is saying its 300,000 gas-powered hybrids sold in Australia can work to reduce carbon emissions about the same as 90,000 BEVs. What do you think?
