Lewis Day takes delivery of another batch of the environmentally friendly Toyota Prius hybrid car. Over a 2 week period, the Fleet Dept has received 50 cars.
The Toyota Prius is a hybrid electric mid-size car developed and manufactured by the Toyota Motor Corporation.
The Prius first went on sale in Japan in 1997, making it the first mass-produced hybrid vehicle. It was subsequently introduced worldwide in 2001. The Prius is sold in more than 40 countries and regions, with its largest markets being those of Japan and North America.
According to the UK Department for Transport, the Prius is tied as the third least CO2-emitting vehicle on sale in the UK, and there are eight cars which are more fuel-efficient than it for the combined use cycle.
