Toyota Motor Corp is planning to start mass producing plug-in hybrid vehicles in 2012, with a projected first-year output of about 20,000 to 30,000 units, Reuters reported.
The Japanese auto giant will price the plug-ins at around JPY4.6 million (US$47,800), the report added. Plug-ins are cleaner than regular hybrids as they can run purely on electricity, but the need for more batteries makes them expensive.
