TOKYO (Reuters) --Toyota Motor Corp plans to start mass producing plug-in hybrid vehicles in 2012, with a projected first-year output of about 20,000 to 30,000 units, the Nikkei business daily reported on Saturday.
Toyota has said it would start leasing 500 plug-in cars globally by the end of this year, primarily for government and corporate use, but has not said when it would commercialize them.
Plug-ins can be cleaner than regular hybrids as they can run purely on electricity but the need for more batteries makes them expensive.
