Toyota has set a goal to sell 5.5 million electrified vehicles by 2030, including 1 million zero-emission vehicles fitted with non-gasoline powertrains, the company has announced.
As a step toward the goal, Toyota and Lexus will offer electrified versions of every vehicle in their lineup by 2025. Toyota will eventually rely on a blend of gasoline-electric hybrids, plug-in electric hybrids, battery-electric vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to meet the 2030 goal.

Toyota hasn't offered a battery-electric vehicle since it discontinued the RAV4 EV after the 2014 model year. However, by the early 2020s, the company plans to offer 10 such models globally. The first BEVs will arrive in China, and will gradually roll out to Japan, India, the U.S., and Europe.
In the commercial vehicle realm, Toyota plans to expand the number of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles it will offer by the early 2020s.
Toyota will also expand its gasoline-electric hybrid models with further development of the second-generation hybrid powertrain that powers the current Prius. Toyota will introduce more powerful versions of some models and develop simpler hybrid systems for other models, according to Toyota.
Toyota is working with Panasonic on a feasibility study on a joint automotive prismatic battery business with the goal of developing the "best automotive prismatic battery in the industry," according to the company.
To date, Toyota has sold more than 11 million electrified vehicles since introducing the Prius 20 years ago.
AI is no longer a future concept for fleets—it’s already embedded in the tools, data, and decisions that operators rely on every day. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, recorded live at Fleet Forward, industry leaders take the conversation beyond hype to examine what responsible AI adoption really looks like in fleet operations.
As fleets rethink how they capture, manage, and act on vehicle data, telematics is at a major inflection point. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most pressing questions facing fleet leaders today: Should you rely on OEM factory-installed connectivity, aftermarket devices, or a hybrid of both?
Experts from telematics analytics, fleet-as-a-service operations, and national EV benchmarking share how real-time data is reshaping fleet strategy—dispelling assumptions, validating best practices, and exposing costly missteps.
A powerhouse panel featuring experts from the American Automotive Leasing Association, CalSTART, and municipal fleet leadership dives into the realities of navigating shifting emissions rules, regulatory waivers, federal agency actions, the future of the EPA’s endangerment finding, and the push for unified standards. They also examine the impacts of tariffs, autonomous vehicle policy, battery innovation, and the accelerating global EV market.
This episode kicks off with a deep dive into the technologies and market forces reshaping today’s fleet landscape. Host Chris Brown is joined by Laolu Adeola (Leke Services), Tyson Jomini (J.D. Power), and Richard Hall (ZappiRide) to break down real-world data, shifting incentives, and practical strategies fleet leaders can use right now.
In the middle of natural disasters fleet managers must shift priorities to protect people and assets. What policy items should be loosened, and when should the line be held?
In this episode, fleet leaders from municipal, university, and private-sector organizations share a candid EV reality check. From infrastructure setbacks and policy whiplash to grant funding, total cost of ownership, and charging resiliency, this conversation dives into what it actually takes to scale electrification in the real world.
After a decade of lagging compensation, fleet manager pay is climbing. But expanding responsibilities, larger fleets, and growing complexity continue to redefine the role.
