Using Renewable Energy

Toyota is introducing renewable energy, taking into consideration the regional characteristics of each of its plant.

A photovoltaic generation system installed at the Tsutsumi Plant has a rated output of 2,000 kW, the world′s highest level for an automobile production plant. Compared to a thermal power plant, the system results in a reduction in crude oil consumption of approximately 500 kiloliters (equal to about 2,500 200-liter drums) annually.
Overseas plants have also installed photovoltaic generation systems.
