DESCRIPTION:

Toyota's approach to future transportation focuses on developing technologies to meet the world's mobility needs sustainably. We deployed hydrogen fuel cell vehicles as part of a national demonstration program because we believe hydrogen holds great potential as a clean, renewable fuel.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• In the United States, Toyota offers the most fuel-efficient fleet of any full-line manufacturer.
• We have been using bio-based plastics—plastics derived either wholly or in part from plant materials—in numerous parts and components for over a decade.
• Driving range for the Prius Plug-in Hybrid is estimated as high as 540 miles on a single charge and single tank.

SPOTLIGHTS:

•  The Prius Family
•  The Prius Plug-in and Green Rallies

PARTNERSHIPS:

•  Advancing Hydrogen Infrastructure
