Expansion of promoting Hybrid Vehicles (HV) ( thousand Annual sales of Toyota HVworld wide year Accelerate promoting hybrid models to satisfy market demand 5
Actions Focused on Mid-Long Term 6
Recognizing Challenges Reducing Oil Consumption and Promoting Wide Use of Alternative Energies Reducing CO 2 for preventing global warming Prevention of Air Pollution 7
Initiatives for Reducing Size and Weight of Vehicles Six methods by which world s most compact vehicle was achieved Differential gear reverse placement Center take-off gearbox Placement of ultra-thin fuel tank under floor Slimmed seat backs Compact air conditioning unit Asymmetric installment panel Size and weight reduction is crucial to energy conservation and lower CO 2 emissions 8
Environmental Superiority of HV Large Gasoline CO 2 Emission (g/km) Prius Camry HV RX400h GS450h LS600h Diesel Gasoline HV Vehicle Weight (ton) Heavy EC mode HVs contribute to reduced CO 2 emissions 9
