Toyota Motor Corp., preparing to build Prius hybrids in the U.S. by 2010, will eventually make advanced batteries within North America to power the gasoline- electric cars, vice-chairman Kazuo Okamoto said.
"We will start producing batteries in North America," Okamoto told reporters Friday. The date of such production, now done only in Japan, depends on oil prices, which Toyota expects to continue rising, he said, without elaborating.
. . .
Limited supplies of the Prius led to a four per cent drop in U.S. sales this year through August for the market's most fuel-efficient car, even as gasoline prices topped $1.06 a litre. U.S. allocation of the cars is 15,000 a month, little changed from a year ago, said Jim Lentz, president of the Toyota City, Japan-based automaker's U.S. sales unit.
