(Noticia recogida de www.peakoil.net, página en internet de la Asociación para el estudio del cenit del petróleo y del gas).
Toyota, que ya es la primera empresa fabricante de vehículos del Mundo, ha afirmado, a través de su Vice - Presidente de Ventas en los EE.UU., que “el pasado verano, el galón de gasolina a 4 dólares no era anormal. Fue una fugaz visión de nuestro futuro. Debemos abordar el inevitable cenit del petróleo a partir del desarrollo de vehículos movidos por alternativas a los líquidos combustibles del petróleo“.
El sector automovilístico, que ha registrado importantes pérdidas de ventas en los últimos años, afronta con gran incertidumbre la era del petróleo menos accesible.

Toyota Motor Corp. said Saturday it is confirming plans to have an all-electric vehicle on U.S. roads by 2012 by introducing an ultra-compact battery-powered concept car at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
“Last summer’s $4-a-gallon gasoline was no anomaly,” said Irv Miller, vice president of Toyota Motor Sales USA. “It was a brief glimpse of our future. We must address the inevitability of peak oil by developing vehicles powered by alternatives to liquid-oil fuel.”
