July 2010 marked the 15th consecutive month that the Japanese automaker’s popular hybrid
electric
vehicle was the best-selling car in the country, boosting overall
hybrid sales past a million vehicles. As the world’s largest automaker,
Toyota Motor Corporation was also the first to commercially produce a
hybrid electric vehicle when it made the Prius available in 1997.
With
Japan’s government assisting eco-conscious car buyers through tax
incentives and other rebates, the popular Prius currently has a wait
time of approximately six months. Toyota is also planning additional
hybrids along with the development of other green transportation
technologies.
Bravo, Toyota and many thanks for your
eco-contributions to transportation. Wishing happy travels to the many
Prius drivers as we look forward to a future of sustainably powered
vehicles for all.
