This has enabled the Prius to be light-weight, 60% more rigid and more crash resistant.

Van Zyl expects hybrid gross sales to develop with the launch at Frankfurt present of the brand new RAV4 small SUV, which for the primary time might be provided additionally with a hybrid powertrain, becoming a member of the Yaris, Auris and restyled Prius. The features include driver assistance electronics for lane departure, adaptive cruise control, pedestrian detection, lane prevention and braking assistance systems.
