Toyota and Lexus offer the widest range of HEVs in the country today with multiple variants across 10 models - Toyota's Corolla Altis, Corolla Cross, Prius, Camry, and RAV 4 plus Lexus' IS, ES, LS, NX and RX.
Toyota believes in multiple pathways towards gaining speed and scale in achieving Carbon Neutrality. Globally, Toyota offers a wide range of xEVs including Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV), Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and the hydrogen-powered Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) which are being rolled-out to different regions based on the readiness of the market and infrastructure to power these vehicles with clean energy. As of date, Toyota and Lexus have sold more than 20 million units of their electrified models around the world helping reduce CO2 emissions by more than 160 million metric tons
Road to Carbon Neutrality
TMP President Atsuhiro Okamoto welcomes this development as a good sign that the Philippines will soon be making significant contributions to one of the ultimate global goals of vehicle electrification, which is carbon neutrality or net-zero carbon dioxide emissions in transportation.
"The positive impact of xEVs can only be observed once we achieve widescale adoption of these vehicles," said Okamoto. “The exponential growth and the rate of new xEV model introductions in the country are providing Filipino customers more options and easier access to greener technologies. We are optimistic that we can experience the environmental benefits of electrified vehicles with Toyota taking the lead while always ensuring ‘Mobility for All’ where “no one is left behind."
