EDF Energy And Toyota Launch UK Trials Of Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle
10 September 2008
EDF Energy and Toyota have teamed up to road trial the first Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PHV) introduced by a car manufacturer to the UK. Trials start today and will continue for more than one year.
Toyota’s right-hand drive PHV will make its on-the-road debut as part of EDF Energy’s company fleet and will be tested by employees under every-day driving conditions. The results are expected to play a pivotal role in the development of Toyota’s PHV technology, which represents a further improvement on Toyota’s hybrid technology, one of the world’s most environmentally friendly mass-produced vehicle powertrain technologies.
