Toyota Motor Corporation with its Prius has popularized the hybrid technology but for the coming New Year, the automaker has set a slightly higher projection by selling a million hybrid cars every year after 2010.

Despite the fact that Toyota is not the first automaker to offer hybrid vehicle, it was the most aggressive promoter of such technology. The hybrid Prius was able to sell around 1.25 million units since its introduction in 1997.

Toyota is also thinking of hitting sales of one million per year. With the present prices of fuel it’s not inconceivable that Toyota will hit its million sales goals. The automaker has also announced that it plans to equip each of its vehicle with a hybrid drivetrain comes 2020. However the internal combustion is not yet perfected which means that it will take a while before Toyota can finally implement its plan of equipping all of its vehicles with a hybrid drivetrain.
