The Call to Action
“There is no future for the automotive industry without the promotion of environmental technology. Toyota is
convinced that only companies that succeed in this area will be acceptable to society.”
Fujio ChoChairman, Toyota Motor Corporation
The Reality
• “The new social priorities of the emerging era will call for radically new approaches to vehicles …
• … automakers have to address the issue of co-existence with society, particularly in relation to environmental preservation and safety…”
• Hiroshi OkudaChairmanToyota Motor Corp., Japan, 2004
Toyota’s Environmental Commitment
• Toyota is a world leader in producing advanced technology vehicles that are environmentally friendly.
• Toyota vehicles are consistently among the winners of EnerGuide’s most fuel efficient vehicle in class awards.
• All Toyota Canada facilities will be ISO 14001 registered by the end of 2007.
• Landfill Diversion & Recycling
– Reduced landfill waste by 85% at TCI headquarters
– Recycle 95% of packaging and parts at vehicle processing and parts distribution centres
• Environmental and Community Partnerships
– Toyota Earth Day Scholarship
– Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds
What Does the Market Want?
A significant and growing percentage of customers indicate a willingness to buy an
environmentally friendly vehicle
If, and only if, all other attributes are EQUAL
or Better
Technology Design Objectives
• Significant fuel economy improvement.
• Major reduction in exhaust emissions.
• No new infrastructure needs (e.g. fuelling stations).
• No perceived difference by customer in vehicle performance, handling, etc.
• A competitive price to encourage adoption.
What is a Hybrid?
“A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle with two or more energy storage systems, both of which must provide propulsion power.”
Paraphrasing of the definitions developed by IEC, SAE and ARB which all require propulsion power from the secondary energy storage system. Note: Many other definitions exist!
IEC – International Engineering Consortium
Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD)
Hybrid Synergy Drive Benefits
CLEAN: Reduced Exhaust Emissions
• Better air quality, minimizes adverse health effects
EFFICIENT: Reduced Fuel Consumption
• Lower operating cost, less CO2, less oil consumption
POWERFUL: More Fun to drive
• Quicker 0-100 km/h, immediate response, increased torque
Combinations of the Above
Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD)
With 4 decades of related research, Toyota has more hybrid experience than any other automaker.
HSD Features
• Idle Stop/Start
• Regenerative Braking
• Electric-only mode (Engine off)
• Power boost
• Self-charging battery
• Low Emissions
• Low Fuel Consumption

Electric cars are NOT “zero emissions” vehicles…
… because power generation creates emissions!

The Hybrid Advantage
Hybrid Myths
• Hybrids pose a threat to first responders The brightly-colored orange wires are heavily protected and run underneath
the floor in the center of the vehicle. Rescue workers can cut through any door or even a window-area without any fear of coming in contact with them.
• Hybrid vehicles need to be plugged-in Never! You never plug in the battery-pack. The engine and regenerative
braking provide the necessary electricity.
• Hybrid Batteries need to be replaced There have been no failures in service to date and there is an 8 year / 160,000
km warrantee on all hybrid components.
• Hybrids are small and underpowered As explained in the last couple of slides, this is simply not the case. Hybrids
out-perform their conventional counterparts and often come equipped with features not found on other models.
• Electromagnetic Fields in hybrids are harmful to human health EMFs inside and outside of Toyota hybrids are at the same low levels as
conventional gasoline vehicles. Therefore there are no additional health risks to drivers, passengers or by-standers.
• Hybrids are only about improving fuel economy In addition to improved fuel efficiency, hybrid vehicles produce less smog
forming emissions, and offer improved performance.

Hybrids in Fleets
• Federal Government is using many Toyota Hybrids in their vehicle fleets.
• Several Municipalities & Government agencies have Toyota Hybrid vehicles in their fleets.
• Taxi & Fire Department Fleets
BC’s Commitment to Hybrids
• The Government of British Columbia currently operates the largest fleet of Toyota Prius hybrids in Canada.
• Recent announcement to purchase/lease only hybrid vehicles for government fleets.
The Highlander Hybrid in theToronto Fire Services Fleet
The Highlander Hybrid was chosen after an intensely competitive bid
process.
It won because of its high performance, its low operating
cost, and its low fuel consumption.
The Prius in Taxi Fleets
North America's Highest Mileage Hybrid 410,000 Km
“Hybrid taxis are the way of the future.”
The Toyota Prius continues to be the vehicle choice of several Taxi fleets across the country.

The Road Ahead
“I have dreams of producing cars that can go across the North American continent on just one tank of gas, and cars that make the atmosphere cleaner the more you use them.”
