There are currently around 800 million vehicles owned worldwide, and this number is expected to increase to appr. 1.2 billion vehicle by 2020. This increase will further aggravate the energy security issue and further improvement of fuel economy will be demanded to automobiles. For realizing the sustainable mobility, Toyota's vision can be summed up in the word 'Zeronise and Maximise'. Zeronise embodies the aim to reduce harmful effects of automobiles on environmental issues, such as exhaust emissions and CO2 and traffic accidents to zero, while Maximise embodies the aim to increase emotional richness including comfort, fun, and excitement in the driving automobile to the greatest possible extent. This paper introduces a branch of automotive technology currently being developed at Toyota in response to the question of how to realize sustainable mobility. The following issues are discussed: - energy security, - air quality, - realization of sustainable mobility, - Toyota's challenge for sustainable mobility, - gasoline engine vehicles, - diesel engine vehicles, - hybrid technology (market penetration, potential of hybrid vehicles), - FHCV-technology.
