Toyota not interested in diesel hybrids

Not unless diesel fuel costs go down

Toyota is not interested in developing diesel hybrid vehicles due to the high cost of diesel fuel according to Green Car Congress. Even though diesel is the dominate fuel in Europe and many competitors are preparing diesel hybrids for the European market, Toyota believes gasoline hybrids still are more cost effective.

LB-

That's just an old picture. The gasoline prices have also gone down.

The point is that diesel costs more than gasoline.

On the other hand you could be happy about the other prices going down. Of course no company will ever develop something that will be too expensive to use..

it's just a very strong stance for toyota to take considering the market share of diesel in europe, and the fact that all major european automakers are now working on diesel.
