In an attempt to challenge key global environmental issues the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050 aims to reduce the negative impact of manufacturing and driving vehicles as much as possible.
The challenge comprises six individual challenges across three main areas to tackle climate change, water shortages, resource depletion, and degradation of biodiversity.
This includes: Ever-better cars, quantified as reducing global average new-vehicle CO2 emissions by 90 per cent by 2050 compared to Toyota’s 2010 global average; ever-better manufacturing (zero CO2 emissions at all plants by 2050); and enriching the lives of communities.
As a key step toward achieving these long-term targets, Toyota is announcing its Sixth Toyota Environmental Action Plan, which will be enacted between April 2016 and the end of March 2021.
