Does the carbon footprint of making a hybrid battery offset the environmental benefit of owning a hybrid car?
While it is true that the manufacture of a hybrid car takes a small amount of additional energy than that for a conventional vehicle, this initial outlay is far outweighed by the environmental benefits of driving a hybrid car. Toyota carries a rich history in environmental leadership and is committed to working towards a worldwide goal to approach zero impact on the environment in all our activities, including all our activities, including vehicles and production. Furthermore, Toyota’s hybrid cars have been recognised globally as “clean” vehicles, achieving many awards and certification to the toughest environmental standards in the world. We are committed to recycling, and have programs in place for hybrid battery recycling, which can be arranged through a Toyota dealership at no cost to owners.
