Toyota: Environmental awareness key to EVs
iroyuki Fukui, president of Toyota Motor Asia-Pacific, said that although EVs are eco-friendly and produced using highly advanced technology, many people still prefer conventional vehicles because EV prices remain high.
Automotive industry is a long way off from mass producing EVs, while local sales are limited," Mr Fukui said. "That's not just for Thailand, but also for other countries in Asean," he said during Toyota's recent technology media trip
Suparat Sirisuwanangkura, senior-vice president of Toyota Motor Thailand, said the company is not yet ready to commit to local EV production in the foreseeable future.
