The Toyota Motor Corp. has announced that it has begun producing the Prius hybrid in China, in a joint venture with the FAW Group, which is Chinese. Toyota hopes to sell 3,000 units in China next year. China is the fastest-growing auto market in the world, and Toyota VP Yoshimi Inaba said: "It is my strong wish that the Prius built here in Changchun will contribute to the widespread use of hybrid vehicles in China." The Chinese production means that the Prius is being produced outside Japan for the first time. Volkswagen and General Motors also plan to develop and sell hybrid cars in China.
