England is preparing to push the button for electric car conversion. Accordingly, the government is preparing to take decisions for the spread of electric cars. At the beginning of the week, the British press claimed that Toyota, which has a large investment in the country, will close its factory. However, Toyota both made a statement for the UK’s new policy and denied the allegations.
Will Toyota use the UK market for electric car conversion?
Toyota, which could not keep up with the electric car transformation, is now on the verge of losing power in the UK market. According to the latest decision of the British government, the UK is preparing a calendar for the transition to electric cars.
For now, it is not yet clear when the UK will switch to electric cars. However, it turned out that the UK government will popularize zero-emission vehicles in the first stage. In the later stages, it is expected that the UK will gradually switch to electric cars.
Toyota, which has a factory in England, is in trouble with the allegations of the British media. In this sense, claims that the Japanese auto giant will close the factory and withdraw from the UK market have come to the fore. However, Toyota denied all these allegations.
Company officials, who made a statement, stated that they respect the UK’s policy of transitioning to electric cars. In this sense, Toyota wants to play an active role in this transition with its zero-emission vehicles. Toyota believes that hybrid cars will also play an important role in the electric car transition.
Although these statements of Toyota are important, it is a matter of curiosity how the company will be involved in this transformation, which is expected to take place gradually in England, without producing electric cars. In this sense, it is possible that Toyota will give up its stubbornness and start producing electric cars in the UK and US markets, which are important for the company. The latest leaks reveal that the company is working on an electric car.
Until Tesla’s influence in the US market, Toyota was by far the market leader in both the internal combustion engine car market and hybrid cars. The market dominance of the Japanese auto giant for years has caused many US brands to go bankrupt.
The hybrid automobile revolution, which started with the Toyota Pirius, paved the way for the electric car market. Thanks to this hybrid car, the Japanese auto giant broke sales records both in the USA and in the world. But Tesla’s electric car revolution changed everything. When Toyota gave up its hybrid car passion and couldn’t keep up with the electric car revolution, it left the seat to Tesla in the USA.
