Toyota's hybrid sales on the up
The company says there has been a recognisable shift in consumer interest towards choosing alternatives to diesel. With sales of electric vehicles down 15% in 2016, the limited distance which users can travel is not an issue for hybrid drivers, as the combination of both a petrol and electric motor means you never have to plug it in.
So far this year Toyota has sold 1,724 hybrid vehicles compared to 758 last year — a 140% increase, meaning that almost 13% of total Toyota sales are now hybrid.
