Raynham, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/14/2012 -- Toyota Motor Company hit an impressive milestone last month after selling their 4 millionth hybrid unit worldwide. Ever since the Prius was introduced in 1997, Toyota has led the charge into the hybrid vehicle industry.

The Prius was first introduced in Toyota’s home country of Japan in 1997 and was the first mass produced hybrid vehicle of any kind. However, since the Prius was released 15 years ago, Toyota has stepped up its game even more by introducing 17 more hybrid vehicles by the year 2012. Currently, Toyota sells 18 hybrid passenger vehicles in 80 countries and regions around the globe.

During the last year, Toyota hybrid sales have soared. In fact, Toyota was able to sell the last million hybrids in just over a year. Here is a breakdown of Toyota Hybrid sales by the numbers:

Hybrids Sold Time
-1 Million 10 years
-2 million 2 years
-3 million 1.5 years
-4 million 14 months

If this trend keeps up, Toyota could possibly hit the 5 million milestone by April 2013, making Toyota the first car manufacturer to sell 1 million hybrids in a year.

Here’s what Bob Carter, the group Vice President and General Manager of Toyota Division at Toyota Motor Sales, had to say about the accomplishment:

“All of us at Toyota would like to sincerely thank our customers, who have made Prius the best-selling hybrid in the industry. While we’re proud of this accomplishment, we are not stopping here as hybrids will continue to be a core technology for Toyota.”
