Toyota Motor said September 4 that global sales of its hybrid vehicles had topped the two-million mark since their launch in 1997, led by the Prius - Japan's top-selling car for the past four months.
Toyota passed the new milestone just two years and three months after its hybrid sales reached the one-million mark, helped by brisk demand for its remodelled Prius which was launched in mid-May. The company said that as of August 31 it had sold about 2,016,900 hybrids.
