Toyota is also developing a dedicated BEV platform, e-TNGA, that offers flexibility for all drive configurations. Using the “Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies” (GREET) model, researchers found that the production of a PHEV emits less GHG since it uses a smaller, lighter weight battery.
