Each year, the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada runs an even that they have dubbed the EcoRun. This AJAC event is always a great place for automotive manufacturers to showcase their eco-friendly vehicles, and a wide range of different types of automobiles show up – including all-electric cars, pure hybrids, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, plug-in hybrids, diesel-fuel options and even some regular gas-powered models that happen to be extremely efficient. For Toyota this year, they’ll be entering the 2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid and Prius Prime.

“At Toyota, we recognize that environmental excellence must go hand in hand with vehicles that work for today’s drivers under real world conditions. The Camry Hybrid and the Prius Prime are great examples of how Toyota makes it easy for drivers in Canada – and around the world – to manage their environmental footprint, while still enjoying all of the benefits of a fun-to-drive, stylish, comfortable and well-equipped vehicle. We look forward to demonstrating both models at this year’s EcoRun.”
– Cyril Dimitris, Vice President, Toyota Canada Inc.
