A New Toyota Partnership for Green Car Tech

Here at Bell Road Toyota, we know that some drivers have different criteria when they're shopping for a new car these days. Many of them are actually looking for cars that are more fuel-efficient and ones that use the latest green tech. The Toyota brand has always been a leader in this field with models like the 2018 Toyota Prius and it's not going to fall behind. A new partnership could help it become an even bigger green car manufacturer.

Toyota engineers and designers could soon begin collaborating with Geely, a Chinese firm, to work on more hybrid technology. The Toyota brand is taking a multi-pronged approach to green cars. It's working on unique models, like the hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai, alongside more conventional hybrid models. This partnership could help aid in the development of next-generation hybrid systems.

Green cars are becoming more popular, but there are still some obstacles standing in the way to more widespread adoption. One thing that needs to be dealt with is “range anxiety,” which is when drivers fear that an electric car won't get them to their destination before needed a recharge. The second thing is the cost. Batteries and other green car parts can get expensive, which generally makes for a more expensive vehicle. Fortunately, the Toyota brand is bringing down costs while delivering green cars with even more advanced capabilities. We can't wait to see what this new partnership leads to.
