Toyota never stopped working on the hybrid technology, and made the technology as one of its primary focal points to concentrate. As a result the Prius over its generations not only improved to become more excellent in quality but also became more affordable.
The Toyota Prius has already crossed the mark of 3 million unit sales in the global market. Presently Toyota is increasingly concentrating on the Hybrid as well as the Fuel Cell technology.
