Toyota launched the Prius, the world's first mass-produced hybrid vehicle, in Japan in 1997 and began selling it in North America, Europe and elsewhere in 2000.
The company has calculated that worldwide sales of its hybrid vehicles since 1997 have greatly contributed to reductions in CO2 emissions by producing approximately 3.5 million fewer tonnes of CO2 compared with the same class petrol-powered vehicles of similar size and driving performance. BB.
