NEW YORK ? Toyota has launched a new global corporate advertising campaign, highlighting the company?s leadership in developing environmental technologies now and for the future.

Over an image of a Toyota Prius, the television commercial states:

It?s earned the love of millions of Toyota owners.

And has saved an estimated billion gallons of gas.

And it?s paving the way for the next generation of vehicles.

Like cars charged at home, or that run solely on electricity,

or consume hydrogen and emit only water.

Even more solutions and the shape of ideas to come, from Toyota

Additionally, a print advertisement highlights the positive effects of Toyota?s hybrid vehicles since 1997 and looks to the future of plug-in hybrids, pure electric cars and hydrogen vehicles.

The television campaign will run on national news, Sunday morning and cable networks. The print campaign will appear in national magazines.

The campaign was created in collaboration with advertising agency Dentsu America, Inc. in New York.
