The automaker has also installed a considerable number of solar panels, the equivalent of 10 football pitches.
Toyota also got a glimpse of its future. The C-HR Prologue concept debuted, showing off the cutting-edge styling of the next-generation model.

The company today unveiled the Corolla Cross H2 concept, which features an internal combustion engine that burns hydrogen instead of gasoline or diesel. There is also a Hilux pickup in development. Toyota’s drive to achieve carbon neutrality will take many forms over the next few decades.
