The other day, the head of the board of directors of Toyota - Akio Toyoda made several interesting statements regarding the prospects for the development of the world auto industry.
So, Mr. Toyoda believes that:.
1) The share of electric vehicles in the world will not exceed 30%, and they will not become transport for everyone.
2) the consumer must decide or switch to electric trustees in conditions of honest and fair competition.
Policy and regulatory authorities should not interfere in these processes and provide preferences to individual market players.
3) Toyota will develop differentiated, offering their customers cars with all possible types of power plants: ICE, hybrids, electric cars and cars on fuel elements (hydrogen) 4) Toyota now is working on a new line of engineering.
Opinions that are significantly different from the plans of many European automobile companies are interesting. It remains to wait a bit and see whose strategy will be more successful.
