The majority of automotive giants have begun the transition to electric vehicles to create a sustainable future. However, there are companies that do not use this approach. Perhaps the most prominent of these is the Japanese company Toyota. Considering that electric vehicles will not be as widely adopted as expected, the company is not taking any steps in this area and will continue with its combustion engine vehicles. The company’s only fully electric vehicle is the bZ4X.

This attitude of Toyota is of course also reflected in the research into electric vehicles. InfluenceMaps “climate lobbyThis year’s version of the annual report published on this subject once again shows that the company is at the bottom in this area.

Toyota scores lowest in terms of lobbying:

InfluenceMap regularly rates car manufacturers and the automotive industry based on how hard they lobby to stop climate goals. These rankings not only show how companies are doing in terms of their electrification plans, but also but also the effort governments are making to focus on these steps. also reveals. They are measured on many things, from plans to produce electric vehicles to informing officials about these climate goals.

In the new report, Toyota ranked last with an organizational score (how much lobbying work was done) of 45%. It ranks second with 52% in the relationship score, indicating how positive its lobbying efforts are. The country received a score of 41% in terms of interaction intensity, showing how involved it is in lobbying activities. In the score determined as a result of all this, He came last with a D.

TeslaAlthough it is at the top, due to its low interaction density,b.took it. Ford, General Motors, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz follow with C and C-. It seems that companies other than these five are not very good at electrification and get a D. It is also notable that Japanese automakers, including Toyota, receiving low scores in lobbying. If we exclude the top-ranked Nissan, Suzuki, Mazda and Toyota are in the bottom three when it comes to positive lobbying.

The ranking of companies based on their 2030 EV targets is as follows:

When we look at the goals for 2030 Tesla is at the top with 100% We see it happening. Mercedes-Benz is in second place with a target of 71% and BMW is in third place with a target of 69%. In the last third there are Japanese manufacturers again. Toyota is third from the bottom with 29%, Honda is second with 24% and Suzuki is last with 10%. next one.

It should be noted that the objectives of companies in the field of electric cars have started to change recently. Companies expected its plans to go all-electric are slowing due to a lack of demand and that they planned to continue producing internal combustion vehicles. This shows that Toyota isn’t wrong, at least for now. Of course the company one of the five largest car companies in terms of environmental damage We must not forget that he is one.

Why isn’t Toyota switching to electric vehicles?
