Toshiba America Medical Systems to Build Hybrid Vehicle Fleet.

The company has announced plans to replace its entire fleet of sedans for its sales and service teams with hybrid cars over the next three years. One third of the fleet will be replaced each year with Toyota Camry Hybrids.

The first set Camrys is scheduled to arrive in mid-to-late November 2007 and will be used by service and sales managers and account executives.

With the hybrids, Toshiba expects to reduce fleet CO2 emissions by 25,000 pounds and save approximately $3 thousand to $4 thousand in fuel savings over the life cycle of each vehicle.

Toshiba Corporation has set a global goal of reducing its energy-originated CO2 emissions by 25 percent by 2010 as well as non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions by 35 percent by 2010.

Toshiba America Medical Systems markets, sells, distributes and services diagnostic imaging systems, and coordinates clinical diagnostic imaging research for all modalities in the United States. (10/10/07)
