Prius Parade Sets New World Record
Just recently a total of 332 Prius owners gathered at the Alameda Air Field to participate in a record-breaking hybrid parade. The amount of participants in this parade earned Toyota Motor Company a new Guinness World Record™ for the most vehicles in a hybrid parade.
California has the highest population of Prius owners in the entire country making up about 40 percent of the total.
“The Bay Area is home to hundreds of thousands of proud Prius owners, and we wanted to pay homage to the Prius this Earth Day,” said Pete Carey, vice president and general manager for Toyota Motor Sales. “We wanted to celebrate this revolutionary vehicle and the folks behind the wheel who’ve always been our early-adopters, thinking bigger about their carbon footprint and environmental impact.”

Toyota Motor Company was one of more than 20 automakers who agreed to help the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in their goal to make Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) standard by no later than September 1, 2022. Now, Toyota has announced that they plan to make this technology standard on their vehicles even sooner by setting a new goal for the end of next year. Therefore, the brand hopes to make AEB standard on all new vehicle beginning with models for the 2018 model year. As of now, the only vehicles in the Toyota lineup that will not have standard AEB by then will be the 4Runner and the Mirai.
“We are proud to help lead this industry in standardizing these systems and bring automated braking to our customers sooner rather than later,” said Jim Lentz, CEO of Toyota Motor North America.

2016 World Green Car Awarded to Toyota Mirai
Years ago, Toyota changed the way we look at cars with the introduction of the Toyota Prius. Toyota is once again looking to make leaps and bounds in the realm of environmentally friendly cars with the hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai. The Mirai has already been awarded as the 2016 World Green Car just the other day at the New York International Auto Show.
Bill Fay, group vice president and general manager, Toyota Division said, “With a range of over 300 miles per tank, a refueling time of under five minutes, and emissions that consist only of water vapor, Mirai is leading the world forward toward a more sustainable future.”
The Mirai beat out seven other vehicles from all across the globe to win the award. Nearly every aspect of the car from tailpipe emissions to fuel consumption were carefully considered to create a car that was more environmentally conscious than ever.
