Japanese car giant Toyota will be able to use hybrid car sales to offset the emissions of its utes, vans and four-wheel-drives –
which are among the biggest emitters on our roads – according to a template for future pollution reduction targets in Australia.
Toyota cruised to victory as it topped the charts in the automotive industry’s inaugural emissions scoreboard – where all brands are ranked from best to worst – in the category for passenger cars and small SUVs.
However, Toyota ranked 19th out of 25 in the segment for utes, vans and four-wheel-drives – which typically have the highest emissions on our roads except for heavy trucks.
