flag Toyota to launch electric and hydrogen HiLux in Australia by 2026 and 2028, pushing for hybrid inclusion in emissions credits.

flag Toyota is launching an electric (BEV) HiLux in early 2026 and a hydrogen fuel-cell (FCEV) version by 2028 in Australia, part of a broader strategy beyond compliance with the 2025 New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES). flag While the BEV will generate NVES credits, its low volume will have minimal impact compared to Toyota’s strong sales of hybrids and plug-in hybrids, which make up nearly half of its current Australian sales. flag Toyota Australia’s Sean Hanley urged the government to adopt a Zero and Low Emissions Vehicle (ZLEV) approach that includes hybrids in credit calculations, warning that excluding them could hinder consumer adoption and slow decarbonization. flag The company continues expanding its electric lineup with the bZ4X SUV, bZ4X Touring, C-HR BEV, and HiLux FCEV, maintaining a multi-pathway strategy across powertrains.
