Toyota Community Relations and Interactive Marketing

media-enabled philanthropy program to be unveiled via a national press
release on March 1st.
Toyota will donate 100 cars in 100 days to 100 deserving nonprofit (verified 501c3)
organizations. But we’re not deciding who wins these vehicles; we’re
letting the community direct our giving
Each day for 100 days, 5 different nonprofit organizations will compete
for votes from the general public on the Toyota USA Facebook page.
The organization with the most votes at the end of each day will be
awarded a Toyota vehicle. The four runner-up organizations each day
will be given a consolation prize of $1,000.
From the total pool of applications received, 500 nonprofits will be
selected by an independent panel of experts in the field of
philanthropy.
Once selected, these organizations will be notified, assigned their
voting day, and asked to submit a profile, including a short video
detailing how they will use a Toyota vehicle ‘for good.’
Applications will be accepted on the Toyota Facebook page beginning at
noon Pacific time on March 7th. Applications will be accepted until
noon Pacific time on March 21st or until 5,000 applications are
received, whichever comes first.
Public voting on Facebook will begin on May 9th, 2011, and continue for
100 consecutive days.

2012 Plug-In Prius Now Travelling The Streets
February 2, 2011 Leave a comment
Commercial sales of the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PHV) aren’t slated to begin until 2012, but five of the high-efficiency vehicles are already in use in New York City as part of the automaker’s 600-vehicle-strong global demonstration fleet.
“New York City has one of the world’s most aggressive and comprehensive sustainability plans—PlaNYC, which aims to reduce carbon emissions by 30 percent by 2030,” said New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. “Reaching our goal means having a more efficient vehicle fleet, and Toyota continues to be a great partner for City government, which has the world’s largest fleet of hybrid vehicles. I want to thank Toyota for making us a part of the Plug-in Hybrid vehicle program and generously providing these cars at no cost to the taxpayer.”
READY TO GO
And you can be sure plenty of retail customers will be thanking the company too once they get their turn in the plug-in Prius. Building on the same foundation that helps the current Prius achieve stellar EPA ratings of its own, the Prius PHV packs new technology that will provide drivers with approximately 13 miles of all-electric driving range at speeds of up to 62 mph. But there’s no need for any range anxiety with the Prius PHV, because it operates just like a “regular” Prius once its batteries are depleted: That means it has the ability to travel hundreds of more miles while still turning up an EPA line of 51 mpg city/48 mpg highway/50 mpg combined.
Of course, when you do need to re-charge the Prius PHV, it takes just three hours using a standard 110-volt outlet or only 90 minutes with a 220-volt setup.
“Toyota and New York City share a commitment to building a more environmentally sustainable future for New York, making this Prius Plug-in Hybrid partnership a natural fit,” said Yoshi Inaba, president and COO of Toyota Motor North America, Inc. “As we strive to bring advanced-technology and alternative-fuel vehicles to market that will not only benefit our customers but also the environment, these real-world partnerships are critical to the success of the program.”
