In this process, Toyota also plans to develop new generation electric vehicles completely different from today's electric vehicles, aiming to double the range with the use of higher efficiency batteries, to reveal more remarkable designs and to offer more exciting driving performances.
However, with the increased battery efficiency of the new plug-in hybrid models, the electric driving range will be increased to over 200 kilometers. Continuing its fuel cell vehicle development at full speed, the brand works to increase usage in both the passenger and commercial vehicle segments. Hybrid vehicles, on the other hand, will continue to be an ideal alternative in the coming period, as they are more accessible, environmentally friendly vehicles and with their high efficiency.
Declaring its goal of being carbon neutral in all its global factories by 2035, Toyota will reduce the average CO2 emissions of the vehicles it sells globally by 2019 percent by 2030 and by more than 33 percent by 2035, compared to 50.
