Toyota and Lexus Achieve United States and Global Hybrid Sales Milestones

 Toyota and Lexus hybrids make up 70 percent of the U.S. auto industry's total hybrid vehicle sales, and account for 16 percent of overall Toyota/Lexus sales globally and locally.  Between now and the end of 2015, Toyota plans to introduce 18 new hybrid models and expects global sales of its hybrids to be at least 1 million units a year.  Toyota Motor Sales forecasts that about one-third of those will be sold in the United States.
