AutoExec Summary
Stand by for a significant commitment to battery electric vehicles by Toyota Australia. The dominant player in the Australian new vehicle sales market plans to launch its first BEV, the bZ4X, in the second half of 2023, with plans to expand its line-up quickly. Toyota will also assess other bZ BEV models for Australian sales, as well as Toyota-branded BEVs. This move comes after criticism from Greenpeace and reports of Toyota grappling with its EV future. Toyota has been a leader in petrol-electric hybrid sales in Australia, but is now accelerating its EV plans. The company’s 22 years selling hybrids in Australia will encourage interest in its BEVs.
