Toyota’s eco war

Toyota has hit back at critics who claim its hybrid petrol/electric cars are not as environmentally friendly as claimed, writes Andrew English

In particular, the company says the US-based CNW Marketing Research report, which claims that vehicles such as the Hummer SUV are greener than a hybrid Prius, is highly misleading.

“We are being extremely cautious about this study,” said Toyota (GB) MD Graham Smith, “particularly about how it came to be aired at this time, and how it came to these conclusions. We are sceptical and we want to know more about it.”
