Toyota Unveils Two New EV Concepts, Aims for Six Models in Europe by 2026

The automaker targets over 250,000 annual battery-powered vehicle sales in Europe by 2026, accounting for more than 20% of new car sales in the region.

Toyota plans to expand its European lineup of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) to six models by 2026, including two new concepts: an Urban SUV and a Sport Crossover.
