Toyota to add 10 hybrids to lineup

In its attempt to be the leading environmentally friendly automaker, Toyota (TM) says it will add 10 hybrid cars to its lineup and plans to sell 600,000 hybrids annually, or 25% of its total sales, in the USA in the next decade.

Hybrids are a key part of Toyota’s effort to reduce the automotive industry’s dependence on foreign oil, said Jim Press, the company’s North American president and COO.

The company is also developing vehicles that use clean diesel, natural gas and hydrogen power.

Consumers are demanding more environmentally friendly cars, and Press called on the auto industry to come together and find ways to address consumer concerns.
