Published Friday, 03 December, 2010 by Blog Admin. Categories: New Inventory, Green, Fleet, News.
Toyota is revving up more electric vehicle news, with the release of the RAV4 and Plug-in Prius. There's also a new, small Toyota iQ headed to the US in 2012.
Details are yet to be revealed, since the concept is still in project form. But more information is likely to emerge in the following months. Toyota will probably show a preview at the 2011 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
"TMC will continue to improve the fuel efficiency of its conventional combustion-engine cars, which account for the majority of its sales, while raising performance, reducing costs and expanding the company's product lineup," Toyota said in a statement.
"Within these efforts, hybrid technologies-consisting of the basic technologies necessary for development of various eco-cars-are positioned as key technologies to achieve both high fuel efficiency and driving performance, and to facilitate the use of various fuels with the aim of creating a low-carbon society through response to the need to diversify energy sources."
Meanwhile, the company is making the final touches to the RAV4 EV model, capable of achieving a range of about 100 miles. Production of the car is expected to begin in 2012.
Test drive all the latest from Toyota now at Toyota of Wallingford.
