83% of Toyotas produced in Onnaing at the start of 2022 are hybrid-powered
- The number of cars with hybrid engines (HEV-Full) continues to grow at the Toyota site in Onnaing (France). While the proportion of hybrid Yaris did not exceed 15% in 2012, this proportion increased to 50% in 2019, 63% in 2020, 77% in 2021 and 83% during the first quarter of 2022.
- The volume of Yaris with hybrid engines has thus crossed the bar of one million units produced in total on the French site.
- The manufacturer's objective is to produce 100% of hybrid versions of the Yaris and Yaris Cross in France from 2023. The proportion should thus increase from 83% at the start of 2022 to 85% in the middle of the year then 90% towards autumn and 95% towards the end of the year. Toyota was a pioneer in the field of hybrid motorization, since the first Toyota Prius was launched in 1997. From this model, a whole range of cars with hybrid motorization was built, on the basis of cars with thermal motorization.
- More than 20 million Toyota-branded hybrid-powered cars have been sold worldwide since 1997.
- Its luxury subsidiary Lexus has switched entirely to hybrid motorization. Today, all Lexus are hybrid or electric.
- The big change that the Toyota group is now making concerns the development of 100% electric cars that will gradually replace the internal combustion and hybrid vehicles of the Toyota brand, and the hybrid vehicles of the Lexus brand. Only the Daihatsu brand (entry-level subsidiary of the Toyota group, specializing in the production of K-Cars) continues to market thermal vehicles, but until when?
