Electric Car From Toyota In Europe 2021

Did Toyota Doesn't Plan To Use Electric Cars In Europe Until 2021? Toyota continues to hold on to being one of the last auto companies to bet on battery-powered electric cars. For Europe, the Japanese are not planning with corresponding large-scale vehicles until the beginning of the next decade. This was explained by European boss Johan van Zyl at the Geneva Motor Show.

The price point will be high, so you'll see it in the SUV segment. They will also like to be seen in the form of Van-like vehicles in cities as they expand their zero-emission zones, "van Zyl said, speaking to journalists. "We would like something to do by 2021."

The Toyota Plan Of Electric Car

Toyota does not sell an all-electric car in this country, but focuses on gasoline engines, hybrids and hydrogen strocers. Electric cars have not been the focus in other markets. According to its own figures, the car giant has been working intensively on battery cars since 2016, but is not yet keeping the market ripe for the technology.

Toyota plans to offer its first exclusively battery-powered electric car in China next year, with the C-HR compact SUV based on the compact SUV. Later, the model could also stand with retailers in Europe. "It's something we might consider," van Zyl said. In the next few years, more e-models are to roll to the retailers, concrete details of this are not yet available.

On electric vans, Toyota could work with France's PSA Group, Automotive News reports. The two companies already cooperate with conventional engines in different segments for vans. PSA plans to introduce new electric versions of its midsize vans from next year.

High Prices, Moderate Demand

According to the statement of Toyota's European sales chief Matt Harrison, the Japanese manufacturer is still unconvinced of an approaching market breakthrough of electric cars. "It will take many years for prices without grants to be even remotely competitive with those of burner products," he said in Geneva.

Harrison expects Toyota's competitors to launch more electric cars in the coming years than it justifies demand because of stricter carbon laws. "What our customers want and what they're willing to pay for it determines the speed at which we roll out this kind of solution," Harrison said. "That's why we think hybrids are the better solution for the majority of customers in the short term."

Conclusion

Toyota expects hybrid vehicles to account for half of its sales in Europe this year. The spread of the alternative type of drive is thus one year ahead of the plans of the Japanese. For 2021, the company expects a hybrid share of 60 percent in the European market.
