Advanced Technology Vehicles

This section provides detailed information on these advanced technologies and Toyota's ongoing efforts to achieve truly sustainable mobility.

The strategy of sustainable mobility goes beyond just the vehicles themselves. Instead it integrates:

• The vehicles and technologies, including their complete life cycle assessment….from development and production, to vehicle use, to how the vehicle is recycled at end of life.
• The partnerships that are necessary to bring these advanced technologies to market.
• The energy required to power the technology, ie) how is the electricity generated...coal, natural gas, solar?
• The urban environment in which these products will operate, including how the personal car fits into a mixed mobility transit strategy, re-charge/ re-fuel infrastructure, car sharing, etc.

This comprehensive strategy acknowledges the fact that there are many considerations when bringing a vehicle to market. By elevating the discussion above individual technologies, Toyota is working to align the technology and the market to ensure successful introduction and adoption of advanced technology vehicles.
