The Japanese government will intensify the promotion of hybrid and electric cars to accelerate the decarbonization of the country’s automobile industry. Japan targets 50% to 70% of the country’s eco-friendly vehicles by 2030.

According to the report, currently, only 29% of 5.2 million new motor vehicle registrations are hybrid and electric cars, according to the Automobile Manufacturers Association. Although Toyota has popularized hybrid cars through the Prius and automakers in the country are among the top producers of such vehicles, the demand for electrified vehicles has not progressed in recent years.

Like Japan, China also aims to eliminate conventional cars by 2035. The United Kingdom will ban the sale of gasoline and crude vehicles by 2030, while France and Singapore will do so in 2040.
