In
FY2002, 8 out of 11 vehicle series, including both new models
and those that underwent complete redesign, the ist, Alphard,
Probox/Succeed, Caldina, Crown Sedan with mild hybrid system,
WISH, Harrier and WiLL CYPHA cleared the 2010 Fuel Efficiency
Standards, and also achieved an exhaust emission level that
is 75% lower than the 2000 Exhaust Emissions Standards in the
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's "Approval System
for Low-Emission Vehicles," thus qualifying as Ultra Low-Emission
Vehicles.
As a result, the number of gasoline-powered passenger vehicles
including vehicle series that underwent minor redesign, along
with hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, methanol vehicles,
and CNG vehicles, that meet the government fleet standards based
on the Law on Promoting Green Purchasing1 has increased to 21
vehicle series.
1. Law on Promoting Green Purchasing:
Public organizations, such as the national government, have
made decisions to actively purchase "green" products in order
to promote a wider use of environmentally conscious products.
These actions are summarized in the "Law Concerning the Promotion
of Procurement of Eco-friendly Goods and Services by the State
and Other Entities," i.e., the "Law on Promoting Green Purchasing." |
