SHOCKING SPEECH From Toyota CEO

Toyota’s current CEO, Akio Toyoda, the grandson of the founder of Toyota, Kiichiro Toyoda, oversaw the development and production of many of these models, even before he was named the CEO of the company. Toyota had, under Akio’s leadership, reached new heights, and both the fanbase and model pallet grew larger and much more varied. Since he became the CEO back in 2009, Toyota has saturated the hybrid market that it itself kickstarted, and Toyota has continually been the leader in terms of sales when for both hybrids and petrol-powered cars for the past twenty years. Also, the brand even experienced a sort of renaissance under his leadership, as Toyota started making a couple of their legacy sportscars, like the Toyota Supra Mk5, and the GT86 and GR86, both of which are spiritual successors to the vastly popular AE86 Corolla, one of the first truly affordable Japanese enthusiast cars. All of these cars were massive hits, as Akio, who is a major gearhead himself, was also a seasoned racecar driver, and could therefore fully understand the market and what it wanted. However, Toyota has yet to conquer the world of EVs. Unfortunately for Toyota’s eager fans, the 66-year-old has been very quiet in the past when it comes to EVs and Toyota’s possible involvement in the EV market. Even though they’ve technically entered the market this April with the Toyota bZ4X, a single model won’t be enough to do any significant damage to their rivals. Not only that, but Toyota seems to primarily continue funding the development of their hybrid vehicles, seemingly with no intention of straying away from internal combustion engines anytime soon.

in today's video, we will take a look at the Toyota CEO's recent statement that shocked everyone

[debvaughn]

He’s a smart man, doesn’t lie to himself, a realist…, I’ll always buy Toyota

[mrgurulittle]

Toyota is the only one out there using logic. Go Toyota!

[scottymendenhall]

I really don't care about Toyota says Toyota is really missing out the benefits we need more every in USA

[timetrialsc]

There will be a bunch of electric cars to chose from including some Toyotas in the near future. He is making the vehicles people want to buy, that's why Toyota is the number one car company in the world

[andreafelix]

we just need a better public transit system in the US. Most cars are very efficient on gas. All of that efficiency goes out the window when everyone has to sit in traffic for hours everyday. Allowing more people to take the train, will help to de-clutter the roads and allow cars to get better MPGs.

[ybrix]

Yes in today's world the truth is 'shocking'.

[victorchrist]

I worked in a lithium battery recycle plant. The chemicals employed for these processes very toxic and the whole process is very cost inefficient. What is more crazy is where the waste is disposed. Then one begins to wonder, why go through all these stress when there are very efficient engine designs.

[Dinulik]

I never thought that japanese are so against Evs and they are like synonymous with technology. In other words, they should be the first to promote electromobility 🤦

[ChickensAndGardening]

Toyota is big enough, and smart enough, that they can make an EV Corolla for $30K that will take over the market in 3 years. I suspect such plans are already underway. Toyota can't afford to be eclipsed by Nio and Tesla.

[pipingsetiadi]

Electric car vs fossil car vs hydrogen car... the Age of 3 kingdoms vehicle energy begins...

[Tmoua]

Ev are awesome but, as of now petrol vehicles are still the relevant. I don't think there will be any charger out there that'll get you full charge 300+ miles under 5 minutes. If there is it wouldn't be able to be in mass for the entire world.

[johicks]

Mr Akio Toyoda lift the chin on your Lexus GX and other SUV's will improve their off-road prowess. There chins are so low you can't do much off-roading...

[julikb]

i am not surprised...Toyota are smart guys....

[roxterroxter]

He BZ4X was well received? Obviously this is a pro-Toyota channel that just pushed FUD.

[Athoughtfulatheist]

I sold my Toyota stock. They are the next Nokia or Kodak. Hiring a CEO based on nepotism turns out to be a very bad idea. No gas car sales in Europe after 2035, or China long before that. Where will they sell their gas cars? The fool is also unaware of sodium batteries. Sell you stock while you can.

[bazmsc]

EV is a technology trap those who is venturing into ev they will be trapped and diverted from their focus. The real issue is whether ev can refill max for less than 3 minutes? Can ev do this??

[shaik.m.abdullah]

IF we turned all of our car into ev today, world don’t have enough power to charge our ev everyday.

my feelings says, it is a political blunder for " now". by next 10 /15 years we will not see most of our car become ev unless we have breakthrough innovation.

we are not ready yet.

[marlonallansupetran]

Toyota I think knew the world will not ba able to fully switch to EV's by 2035, the current infrastructure is not ready for that, and they can easily switch to pure EV's considering that they already have extensive experience now with hybrids.

[ronnaveau]

Shur bye your electric vehicles, , just remember too purchase the little Honda generator also just in case 😉

[scottymendenhall]

Toyota lied there cars the first time Toyota will lie again
