Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda to Run Electric-Car Division

Via: Green Car Reports:
It’s now abundantly clear that Toyota is changing course when it comes to zero-emission vehicles.
After years of promoting hydrogen fuel cells while shunning and disparaging battery-electric cars, the company now plans to introduce a mass-market electric car by 2020.
The fact that Toyota is reportedly only now assembling the team to develop that car indicates how recent this decision seems to be.
But the company’s choice of leader for the team indicates the company is taking electric cars very, very seriously indeed.
Toyota has appointed CEO Akio Toyoda to lead its electric-car division personally, according to a Reuters report.
The company hopes putting Toyoda—the grandson of company founder Kiichiro Toyoda—in charge will speed the development, a spokesperson told the news service.
