Toyota displays Prius Plug-in Concept; Hints at 'beyond lithium' battery technology

摘要

The 2010 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid (PHV) Concept vehicle was debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show. According to TMC group vice president, environmental and public affairs Irv Miller, beginning in late 2009, Toyota will begin global delivery of 500 Prius PHV vehicles. Of this initial fleet, 150 will be placed with select U.S. lease-fleet customers for market and engineering analysis. This program will allow Toyota to gather real world driving feedback and understand customer expectations for plug-in technology.
