Toyota\u2019s brand is now valued at USD 35.346 million ($35 billion).<\/p>\n<p>Interbrand attributed Toyota\u2019s brand value growth to the company\u2019s global hybrid leadership and efforts to engage with customers. Moreover, the company\u2019s drive to create ever-better cars seems to be well received by customers as illustrated by Toyota\u2019s strong global sales performance.<\/p>\n<p>Toyota\u2019s pioneering full hybrid Prius and overall hybrid vehicle sales continues to be a strong influence in the company\u2019s brand valuation. Worldwide sales of the Toyota Prius have now surged past the three million mark while global full hybrid sales now at some 5.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>In Europe, sales of Toyota and Lexus full hybrid vehicles have exceeded 600,000 units since the Prius was first introduced to the market in 2000. So far this year, Toyota takes a 75% market share for hybrid vehicles in Europe, with 18% of all Toyota and Lexus vehicles sold, powered by hybrid.<\/p>\n<p>Through to the end of 2015, Toyota will launch 15 new or redesigned full hybrid products worldwide, including a fuel cell driven model.<\/p>\n<p>In June, Interbrand named Toyota\u2019s the number one Best Global Green Brand across industries for the third consecutive year, comparing the company\u2019s actual environmental performance against perceived performances by customers.<\/p>\n<p>Interbrand\u2019s ISO-certified Best Global Brands methodology analyses the various ways a brand benefits from an organisation, from delivering customer expectations to driving economic value.<\/p>\n<p>Interbrand\u2019s Best Global Brands 2013 report can be found here: <a class=\"thickbox\" href=\"http:\/\/www.interbrand.com\/en\/best-global-brands\/2013\/Best-Global-Brands-2013.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.interbrand.com\/en\/best-global-brands\/2013\/Best-Global-Brands-2013.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Toyota in the Interbrand Best Global Brands 2013 report can be found here: <a class=\"thickbox\" href=\"http:\/\/www.interbrand.com\/en\/best-global-brands\/2013\/Toyota\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.interbrand.com\/en\/best-global-brands\/2013\/Toyota<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Interbrand\u2019s Best Global Green Brands 2013 report can be found here: <a class=\"thickbox\" href=\"http:\/\/www.interbrand.com\/best-global-brands\/Best-Global-Green-Brands\/2013\/Best-Global-Green-Brands-2013.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.interbrand.com\/best-global-brands\/Best-Global-Green-Brands\/2013\/Best-Global-Green-Brands-2013.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myjhb.co.za\/cgi-bin\/\/search.cgi?keywords=motor%20cars\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6348\" alt=\"2012 Toyota Prius\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/16d6d_2012_Toyota_Prius.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">2012 Toyota Prius<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/16d6d_pixy.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"related_post_title\">Related  &#8230;&#8230;<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"related_post zem_rp\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/lets-get-jim-on-the-road\/\" class=\"zem_rp_thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/16d6d_Le_Mans_Hybrid-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Let\u2019s Get Jim on the Road\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/lets-get-jim-on-the-road\/\" class=\"zem_rp_title\">Let\u2019s Get Jim on the Road<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/exploring-technology-and-change-in-the-automotive-industry\/\" class=\"zem_rp_thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/16d6d_Johan-van-Zyl-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Exploring technology and change in the automotive industry\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/exploring-technology-and-change-in-the-automotive-industry\/\" class=\"zem_rp_title\">Exploring technology and change in the automotive industry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/top-safety-award-for-2012-car-of-the-year\/\" class=\"zem_rp_thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/16d6d_6811174790_d9d4842ce7-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Top Safety Award for 2012 Car of the Year\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/top-safety-award-for-2012-car-of-the-year\/\" class=\"zem_rp_title\">Top Safety Award for 2012 Car of the Year<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/transnet-freight-rail-and-kirilo-savic-institute-sign-mou\/\" class=\"zem_rp_thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/16d6d_Johannesburg_Zemanta-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Transnet Freight Rail and Kirilo Savic Institute sign MoU\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/transnet-freight-rail-and-kirilo-savic-institute-sign-mou\/\" class=\"zem_rp_title\">Transnet Freight Rail and Kirilo Savic Institute sign MoU<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--\n\t\t\n--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toyota\u2019s brand value grew by 17% to once again lead the automotive sector in the Best Global Brands 2013 report published by Interbrand while continuing to maintain its Top 10 position from last year.
