Action Plan

The Fifth Toyota Environmental Action Plan (FY2011 - FY2015)

Action items Specific Actions and Goals
Development and Design (1)Develop next-generation vehicles that use electricity for propulsion, and ensure wider market acceptance of the vehicles based on their characteristics
  • HV: Aim to achieve annual sales volume of 1 million units and total accumulated sales volume of 5 million units in the early 2010s.
    Further develop HV technologies and stimulate the HV market by introducing new models and expand field
  • PHV: Promote as HV with EV drive for daily use; launch in 2012 and aim for annual sales in the tens of thousands
  • EV: Promote as vehicle for short-distance use; launch in 2012
  • FC: Develop a next generation FC vehicle and market it for mid-long distance use
(2)Develop technologies to achieve the best fuel-efficiency performance and conform to the laws and regulations in each country and region
  • By 2015, improve average fuel efficiency in all regions by 25% compared to that of 2005 (Passenger vehicles in Japan, U.S., Europe and China are included. In the U.S., LDT is also included.)
  • Meet the fuel-efficiency standards in each country and region

- Japan: Steadily meet the FY2015 fuel efficiency standard
- U.S.: Meet new CAFE standards in passenger vehicle and LDT categories
- Europe: Promote initiatives and meet next standards and long-term goal
- China: Meet the new fuel-efficiency standard
- Other regions: Steadily introduce technologies to improve fuel efficiency

Production and Logistics (3)Thoroughly conduct activities aimed at saving energy and reducing the volume of GHG emissions in production activities
  • Promote activities to reduce CO2 emissions through development and introduction of innovative low CO2-emitting production technologies, and daily improvement activities
    (Pursue productivity improvement, promotion of improvement activities, including at offices)
  • Utilize renewable energies considering characteristics of each country and or region
  • Management of GHG emissions from sources other than energy sources

CO2

Region Item Base year Target (FY2012)
Global Emissions per unit produced 2001 29% reduction
  TMC Emissions per unit produced 2001 37% reduction
Total emissions volume 1990 25% reduction*
Overseas Promote reduction activities that are the highest level in each country

*Average value from FY2008 to FY2012

(4)Pursue transport efficiency and reduce the volume of CO2 emissions in logistics activities
  • Promote CO2 reduction activities by further improving transport efficiency
Region Item Base year Target (FY2012)
Japan Emissions per unit produced 2006 6% reduction
Total emissions volume 1990 15% reduction
Overseas Promote reduction activities that are the highest level in each country
Sales (5)Thoroughly conduct activities to save energy and reduce the volume of CO2 emissions in sales activities
  • Conform to the Energy Saving Act and reduce per-unit energy at the annual rate of 1% or more, in line with the plan
Working Together with Society (6)Actively contribute to and propose climate change initiatives
  • Promote environmental measures to contribute to the low carbon society proposed by Nippon Keidanren, JAMA, WBCSD, and industry organizations
  • Participate in debates, both in Japan and overseas, concerning governmental environmental policies and frameworks
(7)Promote integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions in the road transport sector
  • Promote integrated approach with JAMA and other groups
  • Implement initiatives to contribute to traffic-flow improvement using IT & ITS technologies
  • Implement initiatives to promote eco-driving
