Toyota Considering Making Diesel-Electric Hybrid Vehicles
Toyota is considering ending the argument backed by European automakers, that internal combustion (ICE) diesel engines are equally efficient for solving environmental concerns as gasoline-electric hybrids, simply by producing diesel-electric hybrids. Both hybrid diesel and natural gas-fuelled ICE drivetrains may become reality, designed to suit local market needs, said Senior Managing Director Hiroyuki Watanabe.
