Back in time when the world did not have any traces of civilization, it was clean, pure, fresh and unadulterated. Of course, a lot has changed since then as we humans took giant strides in advancement of technology where our lives have become easier and more convenient than before but at the same time has affected the environment as well. Among all the inventions that you can possibly think of, it is the automobile that comes to our mind as one of the greatest ones made by mankind. The present-day automobile is much more than just a basic mode of transportation for it is expected to offer the best in terms of design, features, performance without being a toll on the environment. While the search for an ideal automobile that fulfills all of these traits is still on, we experienced something that is fairly close with the new-generation Toyota Camry Hybrid.
While automobiles started their life with gasoline or a petrol powertrail, followed by diesel which provided the necessary momentum, it was the introduction of the hybrid that was marked as an invention as important as that of the automobile itself. With the largest number of hybrids in its global portfolio and also being one of the largest hybrid manufacturers in the world, Toyota has carved a niche in itself as the pioneers of the hybrid movement. Toyota launched the world’s first widely available hybrid in 1997 and has sold more than 4.4 million units since then in close to 80 countries worldwide.
