ArabiaWeather.com - Major car companies around the world are racing to reduce toxic gas emissions and reduce pollution rates from car exhausts in light of climate change and the ongoing global warming caused by pollution. Global warming resulting from pollution is a major cause of the worsening climate changes in the world, and sea level rise resulting from global warming has become a serious problem. Vehicles are one of the problems that contributed to this global environmental imbalance due to the carbon emissions they produce, but they can be part of the solution as Toyota quickly realized the seriousness of the environmental challenges facing the world and decided to confront them. And work began on the production of "Prius" cars in the early nineties of the last century, according to the Emirati newspaper, "Al-Bayan", and in 1993 Toyota established the "G21" project, which is a research project related to the 21st century generation of vehicles. In January 1994 Takeshi Uchiyamada was appointed to head the project. Later in 1994, Akihiro Wada became Executive Vice President of Research and Development and CEO of the “G21” project. Uchimada originally aimed to increase fuel efficiency by one and a half times with the use of direct fuel injection and a new transmission. However, WADA realized that although the goal may seem ambitious at the time, it was not enough, and that what was required was to double the fuel efficiency and insisted on canceling the project immediately if this could not be achieved, which indicated the need to innovate a completely new type of technology for For Uchiyamada and his team, it's a "hybrid" power system. When it first appeared in the fall of 1995, the concept vehicle was powered by the Toyota Energy Management system, a two-motor system that relies on an electric motor auxiliary to the gasoline engine. Of course, this technology was not known as "hybrid". Searching for a name for this vehicle, Toyota decided to call it Prius. The Toyota Prius concept vehicle was unveiled in 1995 with a capacitor to store electrical energy.
