Profile
Toyota is the world's largest automaker by volume and a long-standing pioneer of battery-electric and hybrid powertrains, having introduced mass-market hybrid batteries with the Prius decades ago. Batteries are central to its multi-pathway electrification strategy.
For its battery-electric vehicles Toyota works with partners including CATL, BYD and LG Energy Solution, and it manufactures batteries through its own operations and joint ventures, including Primearth EV Energy and Prime Planet Energy & Solutions (with Panasonic). It is investing heavily in next-generation cells, and has been among the most vocal developers of solid-state battery technology.
Toyota's approach spans hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full-electric batteries, reflecting its belief in multiple routes to lower emissions.
