TOYOTA AND BRITAIN LEAD EUROPE IN HYBRID VEHICLE PRODUCTION

The British car industry reaches a landmark this month with the start of production of the Auris Hybrid by Toyota Manufacturing UK (TMUK), the first mass-produced hybrid vehicle to be built in Europe.

Following a challenging time for the global motor industry, the opportunity for Toyota to take the lead with the new full hybrid Auris model is a source of great pride for the TMUK workforce, as Tony Walker, Deputy Managing Director, explained: “Auris Hybrid provides a great opportunity for Toyota to increase sales and for TMUK to increase production. Being the first to manufacture this new technology is a source of immense motivation for everyone here at TMUK.”

The exceptional environmental performance of the new Auris Hybrid, with CO2 emissions from 89g/km, aligns perfectly with TMUK’s status as one of Toyota’s sustainable factories, providing a lead in achieving the highest standards in environmental management.

The new Toyota Auris Hybrid will go on sale in the UK and across Europe on 1 July.
