Toyota goes all-in on hybrids as sales climb
May vehicle sales show that Australians are embracing new technology, prompting Toyota to make a huge move regarding its local line-up.
Michael Pachota, general manager of Suzuki Australia, said hybrid cars are “the right idea” for Australia.
“I think hybrid will grow to a minimum of 60 per cent of sales over the course of the next eight years,” he said.
“I can’t see EV going over 30 per cent, at all.
“First and foremost in Australia the infrastructure is not ready for [electric vehicles].
“I see EV as an alternative to hybrid and/or other fuel types in the future, but it won’t be a larger share of sales.”
