发帖数: 29846 | 1 The well-known Japanese automaker, Toyota has pleased to announce that its
highly fuel-efficient Toyota Prius green vehicle hits 1 million sales
milestone in the United States, which the automaker claims as the world’s
first mass-produced hybrid gasoline-electric car, aiming to save earth from
global warming thanks to its low CO2 emissions.
“Since the Prius went on sale eleven years ago not a year has gone by
when it hasn’t been the number one selling hybrid vehicle in the U.S,”
commented Bob Carter, vice president and general manager for Toyota Division
group. “Prius has become synonymous with the word hybrid and as we see
fuel prices starting to rise again, it has accounted for more than 60
percent of hybrid passenger car sales so far this year. Prius paved the way
for hybrids and while it is still the hybrid leader in sales and fuel
economy, I’m proud to say that since its introduction, 13 other auto brands
have seen the benefits of hybrid technology and joined the hybrid market.”
The 3rd-gen eco-friendly Toyota Prius cool drive ranks first in EPA’s list
of 2011 Most Fuel Efficient Vehicles, reducing CO2 emissions in addition to
save drivers’ fuel costs. |
