By 2025, every model in the Toyota and Lexus line-up will feature some form of electric assistance, with straight diesel and petrol models no longer being offered.In the "early 2020s", more than ten battery electric models will be sold globally, beginning in China and then heading off to Japan, India, the US and Europe. The fuel-cell line-up will be rolled out both in passenger cars and commercial vehicles at this time too.Toyota"s hybrid system will be rolled out with greater vigour too. It"s the same setup you see in today"s Prius, and we"re promised "more powerful" versions in due course. Like Toyota"s recent HV Sports Concept, pictured above.
