Toyota has more than 40% of the alternative fuel vehicle market in the U.S., which includes 75% of the fuel cell market and 64% of hybrids and plug-in hybrids. By 2025, Toyota’s goal is for 40% of new vehicle sales to come from electrified models, and by 2030 it is expected to grow to nearly 70%.

From now until 2025, Toyota and Lexus models around the world will have an electrified version. Toyota is also developing a dedicated electric vehicle platform, e-TNGA, which provides flexibility for all drive configurations. These initiatives are further steps toward achieving the 2015 Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050, which is the most demanding and inspiring environmental commitment Toyota has ever made.

For the European market, Toyota has announced a compact electric SUV based on the e-TNGA platform.
