Toyota to make Prius hybrids 'greener' with solar panels
Keywords:Toyota hybrid? solar panel? green car?
This is according to a Reuters report, which cited the source as saying that the panels, supplied by Kyocera, would be able to power part of the air-conditioning on high-end versions of the gasoline-electric Prius.
The source, who asked not to be identified because he was not allowed to speak publicly, stated that the move was more of a symbolic gesture as it is very difficult to power much more than the air-condition with solar energy.
A Toyota representative declined to comment, saying the company does not discuss future product plans. The Japanese automaker is set to introduce the third-generation Prius next year.
