Environmental leadership in our products<br />

Towards zero emissions<br />

<strong>Toyota</strong> <strong>Motor</strong> Corporation (TMC) has been researching and<br />

developing environmentally friendly mobility solutions for<br />

more than 40 years with the aim of developing the ultimate<br />

eco-car.<br />

360° approach to our environmental leadership<br />

activities<br />

<strong>Toyota</strong> Optimal Drive<br />

Designed to optimise the balance of performance and driving<br />

enjoyment with fuel economy and low emissions, <strong>Toyota</strong><br />

Optimal Drive focuses on several key aspects of powertrain<br />

development such as environmentally friendly technologies,<br />

low-friction components, light-weight materials, compact<br />

design and enhanced combustion efficiency.<br />

In FY09 we completed the rollout of <strong>Toyota</strong> Optimal Drive<br />

as a core standard technology on the petrol and diesel<br />

powertrains, as per below.<br />

Petrol - R Series<br />

1.0 Engine<br />

With fossil fuels remaining the key energy resource of the<br />

immediate future, we will continue to improve the efficiency of<br />

our petrol and diesel engine vehicles by using <strong>Toyota</strong> Optimal<br />

Drive technologies, which already feature in most of our<br />

model line-up in <strong>Europe</strong>.<br />

Today, <strong>Toyota</strong>’s early vision has been realised. The past few<br />

years have seen a marked increase in the production of<br />

environmentally friendly vehicles, and most manufacturers<br />

are now developing hybrid technology.<br />

<strong>Toyota</strong>’s Hybrid Synergy Drive ® has led hybrid powertrain<br />

innovations, throughout the three generations of the<br />

<strong>Toyota</strong> Prius.<br />

<strong>Toyota</strong> Optimal Drive in Auris range<br />

<strong>Toyota</strong>’s Auris is in the C-segment, a small family car. This<br />

segment represents almost 20% of total <strong>Europe</strong>an new car<br />

sales. In 2010 we plan to sell 101,000 Auris. The application<br />

of <strong>Toyota</strong> Optimal Drive across the Auris range in 2009<br />

has resulted in a significant improvement in the model’s environmental<br />

performance, lowering CO emissions to seg-<br />

1. Reduce Emissions<br />

2. Increase Fuel Efficiency<br />

3. No compromise on<br />

driving pleasure<br />

ment best levels. Even prior to the introduction of Hybrid<br />

Synergy Drive ® to the model range in 2010, the overall Auris<br />

CO 2 average has been reduced from 152 g / km in 2007 to<br />

142 g / km in 2009. In 2011, which will be the first <strong>full</strong> year of<br />

Auris <strong>Toyota</strong> Optimal Drive and Hybrid Synergy Drive ® sales,<br />

the figure is expected to decrease to just 125 g / km.<br />
