Toyota Says Fuel Saved From Hybrids Would Fill 103 Swimming Pools
By Auto Remarketing Staff
Toyota introduced the Prius to
Canada 15 years ago - and this week, the automaker reported it has reached the
milestone of 100,000 hybrids sold in Canada.
Providing an interesting
illustration, Toyota Canada said the fuel saved by Canadian drivers using
Toyota and Lexus hybrids over the past 15 years would fill more than 103
Olympic-size swimming pools.
The two brands have seen the largest
surge in hybrid interest in Canada since the turn of the millennium.
According to Toyota Canada, Lexus
and its mainstream vehicles account for more than three quarters of all hybrids
sold in Canada since 2000.
"The fuel needed by Toyota
hybrids is over 30 percent less than vehicles with conventional gas engines,"
said Seiji Ichii, president and chief executive officer of Toyota Canada Inc.
"That means since 2000, Toyota and Lexus hybrids have avoided more than
600,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions while saving over 259 million liters
of fuel."
Currently, there are six Toyota and
soon-to-be six Lexus hybrid models available in Canada. Coming soon, the Lexus
NX 200h will be introduced to Canada.
