Toyota is a world renowned figure especially in the luxury car segment, in order to cater to lower pollution levels, higher fuel economy and power. The company is developing its hybrid model project, the main concern here is the outcome for the demand and supply ratio of oil in 2030. If the values of demand and supply vary then there would be surplus or shortage outcomes leading to wider gaps between the two important economic tools.

The shortage of oil is not the primary concern, the research and developments conducted in the area of fossil fuel technology that rocks formed from clay lengthen hydrocarbon activities. Developing countries like China and India owing to significant population figures will consume high quantities of oil to cater to higher demands.

Toyota officials have displayed a presentation stating that the gap between demand and supply can be narrowed down; the company is of the strong view that natural gas is the main source to transport proficient technology to fuel growth in electric and hybrid cars.

The demand for medium and small sized cars is on the rise in India, the company believes that Government policy is a crucial factor which has lead to the development in hybrid industry with 40% of such cars rolled out for the Japanese market.

Officials at the reputed Tokyo Institute of Technology are sure of higher demands for hybrid cars.

The hybrid car figure of Toyota has reached impressive figures of 1.2 million last year. The Japanese parent head quartered firm is aiming at a range of models and is awaiting the result of National electricity mobility mission scheme formulated by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Sigh.

The company is working on improving certain critical aspects with respect to hybrid technology such as batteries. Nickel metal batteries which weigh 30 to 40 kgs are known to be highly efficient and when replaced with lithium ion battery, the production levels of cars increase to new heights.

The technology behind the function of hybrid cars is known to be straight forward, where the car maneuvers on electric motor and conventional fuels. The electric motor extracts electricity from battery that preserves energies required for braking. During the event of brake application, the energy is stocked up in battery which would otherwise dissipate in the form of thermal energy with traditionally built cars.
