The biggest concerns that the automotive industry faces in the early twenty first century are those related to 'environment' and 'safety'. In order to reduce CO2 emissions, Toyota has developed and is aggressively selling hybrid vehicles. As for the all engine vehicle, various fuel consumption improvement techniques have been employed, such as those related to power-train efficiency and weight reduction. Over the years, various types of advanced high strength steels such as ultra-high strength steel and hot stamping technologies have been developed and applied in order to reduce vehicle weight and increase anti-collision performance.
