Beyond Zero
Our Beyond Zero
Vision
Beyond Zero is Toyota's vision to reach beyond carbon neutrality with our products, services and operations, and find new ways to make a positive impact on our planet and society. We currently offer more low and zero emission vehicles combined than any other automaker, to give customers numerous choices to reduce their carbon footprint.
Hybrid EV
Hybrid Electric Vehicles start, refuel and handle like the gas-only Toyotas you already know and love—just with better mpg.
Even though they run on a combination of gas and battery-powered electric motor(s), they don't use a plug to charge their battery. Instead, they recycle the kinetic energy captured from the vehicle's braking motion to recharge on their own.
Plug-in Hybrid EV
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles run just like hybrids, using a combination of fuel and battery-powered electric motor(s), but thanks to their larger battery pack, they can run farther on electric power alone.
When your Plug-in Hybrid EV's battery uses up its charge, it carries on like a regular Hybrid EV, using a combination of gas and energy stored from the vehicle's self-charging battery system to power it. When you're ready, plug it in to recharge it and return to the efficiency of operating on all-electric power.
Battery EV
These pure Electric Vehicles replace gasoline and combustion engines with battery-powered electric motors, providing smooth and almost instantaneous torque.
They use the same self-charging technology of our Hybrid EVs to harness kinetic energy generated from the braking motion of the vehicle, but source the rest of their power when you plug them in and charge them up.
Fuel Cell EV
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles combine stored hydrogen with oxygen from the outside air to generate their own electric charge to power the motor.
Refueling a Fuel Cell EV is similar to refueling its gas-powered counterparts by using a pump and a nozzle—just with hydrogen instead of gasoline. As for its emissions? Nothing but water from the tailpipe.
Electrified Diversified and Beyond
Producing a diverse range of electrified vehicles moves us closer to our Beyond Zero vision because it helps us to maximize our use of limited battery resources, and in turn reduce carbon emissions. For example, while Battery EVs have some of the lowest carbon emissions compared to their hybrid and gas counterparts, the same amount of battery resources used to produce one Battery EV can produce 90 Hybrid EVs, resulting in an overall greater reduction of vehicle carbon emissions in the short term.

The Power Of Choice
Our lineup brings you more than just your choice of electrified powertrains: Hybrid EV, Plug-in Hybrid EV, Battery EV, and Fuel Cell EV. Whatever you're looking for in a ride—size, style, efficiency, speed—there's a vehicle to suit your lifestyle that allows you to put more electrified miles on the road.
Going Above And Beyond
Whether Toyota is decreasing its plastic waste, supporting water conservation efforts or expanding programs that protect critical species, we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint and creating a positive impact on society.
Our Beyond Zero Future
Through the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050, team members across the company, in every region of the world, are working to put Toyota's global vision of Respect for the Planet into action. Challenge 2050 unites us all with a common purpose: to be more than just good stewards of the environment and to create positive changes beyond our facility boundaries.
