In 1997, the Japanese automaker released its first hybrid, the Prius. Twenty-three years later, Toyota and its premium brand, Lexus, are rumored to offer forty-four hybrid-powered passenger cars worldwide, surpassing 15 million electric cars sold, of which 13.3 million are Toyota and 1.7 million are Lexus.
Almost a fifth of this, 2.7 million hybrids, have been sold in Europe, and nineteen models are available in Europe. Additionally, hybrid models accounted for more than half, or 52%, of Toyota’s sales on the continent last year. The Japanese company, by the way, also broke another internal record in 2019, selling the majority of its hybrid cars that year, 1.9 million, 250,000 of them Lexus.
Toyota has even bolder goals for the future, with plans to sell half of its hybrid and all-electric cars worldwide by 2025, with a target of 90% in Europe. In addition to the 15 million figures, it is worth noting that Toyota says it has reduced its CO2 emissions by more than 120 million tons in the past twenty-three years.
