History

Historical Context

Toyota’s launch of the world’s first mass-produced gasoline-electric hybrid, the Prius, on 10 December 1997, sparked global hybrid adoption, leading Toyota to sell over 15 million hybrid vehicles worldwide. Building on that precedent, Volkswagen introduced the all-electric ID. Tiguan SUV for 2027, a move that could hasten Europe’s significant rapid shift to zero-emission fleets.
