Sustainable Development is important for balanced use of resources for long term. Knowing the fact that, limited resources of the World must be used efficiently, Toyota invests in development of vehicles of future with "0" dangerous gas emissions. Toyota's ultimate goal is to work hard to reach "Eco" car of future.
Zero emission level target of Toyota vehicles are reached partially. For example Toyota Prius emits "0" dangerous gases while operated at electric power. This already helps prevention of air pollution while waiting for green sign at the traffic.
Toyota Hybrid synergy drive coordinates use of electric power and petroleum combustion power at Toyota Hybrid Cars. As an example, Prius is World's first mass produced hybrid car.
While start up, waiting or at low speeds, electric power from the battery is used.
Engine is started when high power is required at some driving conditions. Practical advantage of THS is that, it does not require any battery charging since it is charged automatically during the drive.

Operation of Prius :
Toyota produces commercially salable Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicles. Fuel cells benefits from electric output as a result of combustion of Hydrogen. Water vapor, which is harmless to environment, is emitted as a result of this reaction.
