Our long term commitment to Australia and the Australian environment
"Sustainability is fundamentally linked to how we do business at Toyota Australia. Conserving our environment, looking after our people, contributing to the societies in which we operate, and providing high-quality products, are core to our long-term business goals."
Max Yasuda
President and CEO, Toyota Australia
As a leader in the automotive industry, Toyota Australia recognises that it can make significant efforts to reduce global warming. Minimising our environmental footprint, which includes reducing our energy usage and resulting emissions, is part of our Five Year Environment Plan.
Hybrid Synergy Drive® is enabling a whole new generation of fuel-efficient cars with ultra low carbon emissions. Sales of our Hybrid cars have reached over 3 million so far and are growing rapidly. In fact, global demand for our hybrid vehicles is accelerating rapidly, with one million being sold in the past 18 months alone - that's more than one per minute.
By contrast, it took almost 10 years to sell our first million hybrids and two years and three months to sell the second million. This milestone closely follows the first anniversary of CamryH ybrid sales in Australia - the country's best-selling hybrid vehicle and responsible for bringing hybrid technology to Australian automotive manufacturing, which is great news for Australian jobs.

We have proudly supported Planet Ark's National Tree Day since 1999 and in that time, over 16.25 million native trees and shrubs have been planted.
