Toyota and Lexus will showcase a range of cars and light commercials for fleets to assess at CCIA.
This year will see the debut of the Lexus LBX at the event, an all-new compact crossover that is a new core model for the Lexus range. Equipped with a new 1.5-litre self-charging hybrid powertrain, this is the smallest Lexus model yet.
The all-new Toyota C-HR is also making its first appearance at CCIA and will be available to test drive in plug-in hybrid (PHEV) form.
This second generation of Toyota’s coupe-styled mid-size SUV offers increased powertrain choice, with 1.8 and 2.0-litre hybrid and 2.0-litre plug-in hybrid versions.
Company Car in Action will be held at Millbrook Proving Ground next Wednesday and Thursday (12 and 13 June).
Neil Broad, One Toyota general manager fleet services, said: “Company Car in Action is a great opportunity for fleet managers to learn from our dedicated team about our multi-pathway approach towards future powertrains and how they are key to achieving the goal of carbon neutrality.
“The Lexus LBX and Toyota C-HR represent the latest advances in our hybrid and plug-in hybrid technology, and, together with the wide range of models we are taking to the event, demonstrate how we have the right vehicles and powertrains to meet today’s customer needs and priorities.”
