Article of the Day: Toyota's Long Term Green Plan

Toyota is planning to almost ditch solely gasoline powered vehicles entirely by 2050, selling almost entirely hybrids and fuel cell cars to radically reduce emissions. Though electronic cars still weren't part of their vision for the 35 year off goal, striking a contrast with other car companies that are going that route. Toyota's vision might be spurred on by the recent DieselGate scandal by Volkswagen. Toyota's plan is to reduce average emissions from their vehicles by 90% by 2050, compared to 2010 numbers. They project that their annual sales number of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is projected to reach more than 30,000 by 2020. But the main part of the vision is hybrid cars, which they predict will reach 15 million. Only a small amount of pure gasoline vehicles will remain, in lesser developed markets. Toyota says that electric vehicles take too long to recharge, restricting them for short-range city travel, which is why they are hesitant to develop them. What do you think about their plan, is being green the most important thing? Tell us in the comments below.
