We are committed to investing in cleaner technologies and are aligned with the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050, which strives to reduce the environmental burden attributed to automobiles to as close to zero as possible. We have recently announced an investment of over US$100 million in Toyota’s latest generation Hybrid Electric Technology for our customers in Pakistan, which will help reduce carbon footprint of our vehicles, in line with the vision of our honourable Prime Minister, Imran Khan.”
