In this video, we discuss the huge news that the new Toyota CEO just confirmed. The company are still focused on diversification. Instead of going full EV, Toyota will continue to offer a variety of powertrains, including hybrids, plug-ins, hydrogen fuel cells, and some battery-electric models. We explore the reasons behind this strategy, the challenges and opportunities it faces, and the reactions from investors, customers, and competitors. Is Toyota making a smart move or falling behind in the EV race? Watch the video to find out!

Thank goodness. I'm so sick of all this greenwashing – making people believe EVs are a godsend. They're just a bandaid built from forced & child labor with energy that is pulling from the same carbon-fueled power grid. I'd support hydrogen way before EV any day.
This woke commentator speaks nonsense.
Toyota is doomed
one of the best managed companies in the world
Toyota is becoming another "SONY" for their car industry. Sony declined after smart phone was introduced because of their stubborn strategy of unchanging for new trend. Now same thing is happening on Toyota.
The climate crisis is a political crisis meant to divert attention away from the mishandling of the previous "crisis"
OMG, this video could easily be 3 minutes, after 5 minutes I'm done…
At this time the car that makes sense is the plug in hybrid.
My respect for Toyota just went up.
Smart choice Toyota
I think Japanese automakers be it Toyota, honda, suzuki facing technology paralysis ,earlier they defeat American, German automakers, now in very near future 3-6 years they defeated by Tesla and chinese automakers
I worked for toyota and or their sub company's for 20 years here in Japan.
After all these years of dedication effort's and sacrifices made to satisfy their internal rules ambitions and dreams, they fired me when i was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, accusing me to be too lazy, and laying about my heath condition to skip job, so i can take my time to go out for fun, also they kicked me off from my apartment ( rented by the company a temporary agency job ) saying that, "this is a place for peoples who want to work not for lazy peoples", taking all my belongings with the excuse that all my stuff will be sold to pay for damage done to the apartment, except for 2 pieces of clothes a backpack some documents ( some of then taken with my belongings ) my cell phone my bicycle and my wallet.
With no money, coz they take 2 months of my salary to cover rent expenses, ( prior to the covid quarantine time when the factory stoped working ) so they say, and no physical conditions to even walk due to the severity of the illness ( difficult to breath and walk ) i was left on the streets as home les on Japans summer ( for those who visited Japan in summer knows what i'm talking about ) with no food or water, with a life expectancy for only 3 months if i taking medications and have a good nutritions and not missing any day of treatment.
I wandered half dead on the streets of Nagoya for about a week, asking for help from friend or so called friends, and every single one of then turn their backs on me saying, "i don't have money flooding from my pockets to give to home les peoples and don't have food to give to bums either", come on i was asking for help not money or food.
Without options and no place to go, i enter a internet cafe with the money that was left in my wallet (about 10 thousand yens) and try to find a job with a apartment, even knowing that it was impossible.
After a week, my health condition get worst, and i couldn't breath or move anymore, even to go to the toilet or take a shower, so i ask for the staffs of the store for help to call a ambulance witch was done really poorly, since the staff didn't wan't to call then, he said to me to call then, but i didn't care, i was too week to do anything, so i sat on a chair nearby, and just watch the guys face waiting for help or die waiting for, after more than 15 minutes later he decided to call the ambulance, i was taken to a hospital nearby half unconsciously, and got hospitalized for 3 months, 1 week on the ICU unity and 2 months with a hemodialysis machine sucking fluids from my lungs.
I told the doctors the whole situation when i wake up, and they helped me to get back on my feet again, providing me with national pension aid, witch i still receiving today.
Thankfully with it, i can paying for my expenses, rent and food, and also my treatment, but i still need help, coz i can afford anything else, and since i can't work anymore, the only source of income is this, so i still asking for peoples help, but nobody sees to care, (even the church).
Today it's been 3 yeas since, and i swear to god that i never will gonna buy any toyota product for the rest of my days, and i will make sure that i will try my best to tell every single person i know, this story, so they too will going to stop buying toyota products too, and know how they treat some of their workers ( foreigner ones here in Japan ).
Like 3d TVs
Finally wiser sense has prevailed in Toyota Motors and other will follow the Market Giant now !!!
Why do people think this is a good idea? Everything in this video screams that this is a horrible idea. And my own research into hydrogen doubles down on this being a terrible idea.
Hydrogen has a terrible market share of ONE US state. California.
Hydrogen requires an enormous investment into infrastructure just to expand to a second state.
As for my own personal research.
Hydrogen is not actually green. You have to use more energy to create hydrogen. It's essentially a battery that sucks. You only think it's green because water comes out the back end of the car…. Nevermind what has to be burned to create the hydrogen in the first place.
So we are essentially doubling our already massive infrastructure to fool a bunch of brain dead idiots into thinking they're helping the planet somehow.
Don't much care. Right now I'm trying to get a 1993 GMC truck running for my tow kit.
Smart company
EVs are a pain because of their ability to manage long distances between recharges. Definitely here in the US the infrastructure is inadequate to address demand and many of the charging stations are inoperative, and duration of charging goes far beyond what it takes to gas and go alternative offerings on the market. Hydrogen is definitely a smart alternative approach. EVs are still reliant on power stations that burn coal, natural gas and oil. They’re not solving anti pollution issues. And solar panels are not the answer unless you build a behemoth solar panel field like outside of Las Vegas. Even so all those panels aren’t efficient enough for the panels need to have dust removal daily and possibly more times each day because dust particles on the panels cause low to no production of energy from the panels. Given the ridiculous projections that everyone will have to own EVs and no more “fossil fuels” vehicles will be allowed is just plain idiotic. The whole country of the US would require monstrous energy sources and solar and wind etc are in no way going to meet the demands of all electric vehicles. Just look at what happened to Austin Tx a few winters back when all their “green” technologies failed and people died freezing to death.
Toyota shows some practical sense here. There are EV autos currently that have been modified with an additional power source whereby when going down the road they are generating their own energy and putting it back into the batteries of the vehicle. These don’t require charging stations or any alternative fuel source. Regenerative breaking shows how energy can be cycled into the batteries but one system running in parallel for the major supply to the batteries may make much better sense.
Yeaaa. Stop the fantasy amd science fiction and go with success, what works and what people want.
