Shanghai, June 8 (Gasgoo.com) An official from Toyota Motor told the media that the company is actively promoting a variety of preparations to introduce its plug-in Prius to China soon.
Environmental technology has become an unavoidable issue for auto manufacturers. Toyota is also advancing in all directions to make relevant research to solve this problem. How to reduce the use of non-renewable resources and promote the use of alternative energy, in particular, is an important issue around the world.
A Toyota executive told reporters that hybrid cars, plug-in hybrids and electric cars have a common underlying technology, namely: the power and motor control technology. This commonly used basic technology will play a major role in the commercialization of electric cars.
"In other words, before the mass-production of electric cars, hybrid technology and its evolution-based plug-in hybrid technology are the most effective technologies in environmental protection and energy saving. Those technologies are also recommended by Toyota, which exists as sustainable car producer. In addition, the wide use of hybrid technology and plug-in hybrids is closely related to new energy vehicles — electric cars. I am firmly convinced that this is the most effective policy by far in commercializing electric cars," said the official.
