Tundra Soltions, a website where Toyota owners or prospective owners can research, discuss, price, and talk about the repair their Toyota, Scion or Lexus, has announced the introduction of the new Toyota hybrid discussion forums on TundraSolutions.com. The hybrid section includes individual forums for the current hybrid models – Camry, Prius and Highlander – and will expand to include each new hybrid model as they are released. In these forums, hybrid owners and prospective buyers can research, compare and discuss these cars in depth.
Hybrids are a simple way to make an important difference in curtailing foreign-oil dependence, air pollution and greenhouse gases, plus they’re a lot of fun to drive.
According to an article in USA Today, Toyota plans to release one new hybrid vehicle each year for the next ten years. Jim Press, Toyota’s North American president and COO, says, “Hybrids are a simple way to make an important difference in curtailing foreign-oil dependence, air pollution and greenhouse gases, plus they’re a lot of fun to drive.”
Lon Vennard, owner and president of Tundra Solutions, Inc., agrees with that statement. As the proud new owner of a 2007 Toyota Camry hybrid, Lon is enjoying the quiet ride, easy handling and dramatically improved fuel economy of the car.
Toyota’s hybrids, which are powered by an electric motor at slow speeds and a gasoline engine at higher speeds, can save about 20% on fuel consumption. But that isn’t the only benefit. Hybrid vehicles boast low vehicle emissions, increased acceleration, large tax breaks from the government and special driving allowances in HOV/carpool lanes. With constant improvements in technology, some hybrids are actually more powerful than their conventional counterparts.
Furthermore, and contrary to popular belief, hybrid cars do not need to be plugged in. The battery inside is entirely charged through regenerative braking and the gas engine when it runs low. The cars must be refueled like other conventional vehicles. This means they are as easy to drive and own as any conventional vehicle.
Hybrid cars may well be a glimpse into the future of automobiles. There are currently ten different hybrid car models on the market, with Toyota leading the way in terms of popularity and sales. Hybrids currently account for one percent of Toyota’s new car sales in the United States. However, Toyota projects its annual hybrid sales topping 1 million units around 2010. Tundra Solutions is eager to watch the growth of this exciting new fleet of vehicles.
