Toyota FT-CH hybrid concept

The next member of the "Prius Family"

Toyota wants to capitalize on the success of the Toyota Prius. Consequently, a family of Prius hybrids is being developed, and the FT-CH hybrid concept could be the first new family member.

The FT-CH is about the size of a Toyota Yaris - almost two feet shorter than the Prius - and lighter as well as more fuel efficient than the Prius.

According to Jim Lentz, President of Toyota USA, the FT-CH is just one of a number of new Prius-based concepts. And, within the next 3 years, Toyota will launch 8 new hybrid vehicles.
