Currently reading: Toyota denies plans to withdraw from UK car production

Japanese car maker has stated it has a “clear roadmap” for achieving zero-emissions vehicles

Toyota has reasserted its commitment to car production in the UK after reports suggested it had threatened to withdraw due to the government’s plans to speed up the transition to EVs. 

The Japanese car maker has reaffirmed that it has a “clear roadmap” for achieving zero-emissions vehicles as the Department for Transport (DtF) prepares to introduce targets that require a higher percentage of new-car sales to be zero-emissions each year from 2024.

Toyota said it's on course for 100% of its models sold to be zero-emissions by 2035.
