The auto industry's transition to electric batteries means more than just making cars. For many global automakers, the transition to EVs is part of a broader strategy to reduce all carbon emissions, including those generated during production. According to Toyota, carbon neutrality will be achieved by 2040 and will use a multi-pronged approach to achieve this.
According to the automaker, by 2023, CO2 emissions from vehicles in Europe and the UK should be reduced by 100%, and in the next 10-15 years, Toyota will use fully electric and plug-in hybrids to reduce emissions.
Toyota has acknowledged that it will face many challenges in achieving this goal, as aspects such as logistics and parts supply are beyond its control. That is why the car manufacturer said that it will try its best to involve its suppliers and partners in the mentioned process.
Toyota also plans to make all of its European production facilities carbon-neutral by the end of the decade. At the Deeside plant in Great Britain, 90% of waste is already being recycled into green energy. Therefore, in 2025, the mentioned institution may become completely carbon-neutral.
The Japanese automaker is also continuing to invest in hydrogen. The company today unveiled the Corolla Cross H2 Concept, which features an internal combustion engine that burns hydrogen instead of gasoline or diesel. A Hilux pickup is also under development. Additionally, the C-HR Prologue Concept debuted, showcasing the sharp styling of the next-generation model.
Toyota's efforts to achieve carbon neutrality will take many more forms in the coming decades.
