Toyota has dominated the hybrid vehicle market since the introduction of the Prius and there are several plug-in conversions of the pioneering production hybrid on the road. Toyota is now actively working on a production plug-in hybrid. In an interview with Reuters, Toyota NA President Jim Press repeated the same line as other car-makers, that batteries are still the biggest problem to overcome. Toyota is willing to cooperate with other car-makers on battery development, to try and move things forward.
