Akio Toyoda, the president of the almost namesake Japanese giant Toyota, has always been one of the great supporters of the approach multi-technological to the future of mobility. It is okay to focus on the electric, but not only and only on the electric: trusting the hybrid in a historical transition phase like this is of vital importance according to Toyota’s number one. Words that have not been lost in the air, because the Japanese government seems to be ready to review the roadmap government economic policy annual to support hybrid vehicles.
It would have been Akira Amari, former minister of industry and veteran member of the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party, to request these changes after having confronted Akio Toyoda. “I spoke with President Toyoda and he said the Jama it cannot support a government that rejects hybrids – the words of Amari spoken at the political meeting of the lawmakers of the LDP and reported by Reuters – Using synthetic fuels would make hybrid cars 100% clean energy, and the government would have to make this explicit. If we don’t make it clear, Jama will reject the program with all his might. If we don’t say that hybrids are included in the electric vehicle category, it won’t be a good move. “ Recall that Japan’s goal for 2035 is to have all new domestic car sales consist of electric vehicles only. A rumor that could soon be extended to hybrids too, then.
If overseas Japan seems to have quite clear ideas, the same cannot be said of Europe. Or rather, of five European countries, such as Italy, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania and Portugal, which said they were ready to turn to the EU Parliament to ask for a five-year extension of the deadline currently imposed until 2035 after which it will no longer be possible sell new petrol, diesel, LPG and even hybrid vehicles. A request that the EU is preparing to reject to sender.
