Toyota said that its global sales of gasoline - electric hybrid car has more than $ 5 million milestone for a technology, which was originally skeptical to meet.
Toyota Motor Corp. said Wednesday that it has sold 5.125 million hybrid vehicles by the end of March.
It began selling the Prius, the world's first mass-produced hybrid passenger cars in 1997.
Japan Automobile Manufacturers said sales of hybrid vehicles accounted for 14% and 40% of its global sales, its sales in Japan.
Toyota sold 19 hybrid car models, a plug-in hybrid, from now until December 2015, and promised 18 new hybrids.
The hybrid technology met with suspicion at first, but it is currently all the world's major automobile manufacturers.
