A new form of
hybrid car has been introduced to the UK by
Toyota and EDF
Energy . The first plug-in
hybrid vehicle (PHV) is being trialled as of today, in an
anticipated year of trials.
Whether the
vehicle will be available for purchase by UK
car buyers remains to be seen. The right-hand drive PHV will
make an on-road debut as part of the EDF energy
company fleet. Employees will road test the
new vehicle under everyday driving conditions.
Toyota’s PHV reportedly is a further improvement to the
Toyota hybrid technology range. This technology is understood to be
extremely
environmentally friendly, and capable of mass production.
A variety of environmentally friendly
cars are available in the UK, with buyers choosing from several
distinct types, and making their purchases using cash or
car finance .
