In a recent North American International Auto Show press conference covered by windingroad.com, Toyota displayed the brands commitment to a future of electrically powered vehicles.

Toyota has led the way with the newest hybrid technology and plans to continue developing several types of environmentally friendly cars including a full-cell vehicle by 2015.

Within the next few years, Toyota plans to expand the highly successful Prius line of vehicles, introducing the FT-CH.

Likely to be the first of several new Prius models, the FT-CH is smaller and sexier than the Prius. You can check out the new design in the Toyota video below. Toyota hopes to make conventional hybrid systems their core technology, introducing eight new hybrids within the next year.

Toyota has finally revealed the Etio Hatchback at the global 2010 Auto Expo in India.

Toyota hopes to compete in the growing, compact car industry in that region. The Etios will initially be available in 10 cities, including Mumbai, Cochin, Lucknow and Ahemdabad by the conclusion of 2010.

In the newly published BBC article, Portrait of a Decade, the Toyota Prius was named among the top objects. Also chosen as winners were Blackberry’s, Playstation3, hair straighteners and Ugg boots.

According to author, Peter York, the list is broader than just the latest gadgets:

“There were lots of ‘boys’ toys’ suggested, but I’ve tried to make a choice broader than technology. It’s good to see flat-screen televisions in there, they really took over the living rooms. Hair straighteners revolutionised women’s hair and popularised the Atomic Kitten look, while the Toyota Prius symbolises the way people started making environmental gestures. Everyone was talking about hoodies for a while, because of David Cameron’s [hug a hoody] comments and the fear of young criminals. I chose Sky+ because it changed my life and the way I view television.”

The article also outlines the decades top Words, People, News and Culture.
