Toyota says large parts of the world are not ready for zero-emission vehicles, which is why the car manufacturer declined to sign a pledge to phase out fossil-fuel cars by 2040.Six major carmakers, including General Motors, Ford, Sweden’s Volvo Cars and Daimler Mercedes-Benz, signed the Glasgow Declaration on Zero Emission Cars and Vans.<\/p>\n

A number of countries, including India, also signed the pledge.<\/p>\n

But Toyota and the world’s second biggest car maker Volkswagen, as well as the United States, China and Germany, declined to sign up.<\/p>\n

Toyota told Reuters that where the energy and charging infrastructure, economics and customer readiness exist, “we are ready to accelerate and help support with appropriate zero-emission vehicles.”<\/p>\n

“However, in many areas of the world such as Asia, Africa, Middle East an environment suitable for promoting full zero emission transport has not yet been established,” a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“We think it will take more time to make progress – thus, it is difficult for us to commit to the joint statement at this stage.”<\/p>\n

According to a study published by the Munich Mobility Show in April, there are huge global disparities in electric vehicle ownership.<\/p>\n

Sales are soaring in the European Union, China and the US, but cumulative electric car registrations during 2020 in South America, with a population of more than 420 million, remain below 18,000.<\/p>\n

And registrations in Africa, home to 1.2 billion people, were exclusively in South Africa and totaled just 1,509 cars in 2020.<\/p>\n

Volkswagen also said the tempo of electric vehicle adoption would “vary from region to region” as chief executive Herbert Diess dismissed the zero-emission pledge at the COP conference earlier this week.<\/p>\n

“It could still make sense to use synthetic fuel cars in Latin America in 2035,” Diess said.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
