In an almost face-off from its anti-EV stance, Toyota has now pledged to have 100 percent zero-emissions sales in Europe by 2035, a recent media event revealed in Brussels, Belgium. This goal follows a commitment to at least 50 percent of zero-emissions vehicle sales in Western Europe by 2030. Toyota still hasn’t abandoned hydrogen fuel cell-based vehicles because its plans are based on a combination of EVs and EVs. Fuel cell based cars. This comes after the company launched its first EV and is gearing up to launch another affordable EV in partnership with BYD. That commitment could be more daring if customer demand should exceed the Japanese giant’s imagination.
“Looking forward to 2030, we expect to see further ZEV demand accelerate and Toyota will be ready to achieve 100% CO2 reduction in all new vehicles in Western Europe by 2035, assuming there is enough electric power by then.” Charging and hydrogen refueling infrastructures go together. Europe will require increased renewable energy capacity, said Toyota CEO Matt Harrison.

Toyota still hasn’t committed to its account, but is forced to do so following the new European Green Deal, which proposes a 55 percent reduction in new car emissions by 2030 and a 100 percent reduction by 2035. Many nations have already agreed. Recently after COP26 till the 2040 mark.

Interestingly, unlike some major automakers such as Daimler, Volkswagen Group, Stelantis, GM and Ford, Toyota’s commitment is limited only to Europe, not globally. Why so? Because Europe is where laws are being enacted to ban internal combustion engines – and so it has no choice, if it wants to operate in the continent.
