At a recent media event in Brussels, Toyota revealed a zero-emission green strategy aimed at reducing CO2 emissions by 100 percent in all new vehicles by 2035.

Toyota recently teamed up with BYD, a Chinese automaker, to create a fully electric vehicle that will cost $30,000. However, it is unclear whether it will be seen outside of China. One of the projected markets for Toyota’s new EV is Europe, where the company appears to be devoted to EV adoption.
