PowerRating -- Japan's largest automaker Toyota Motor Corp. plans
to install a solar power generation system on its Prius gasoline-electric hybrid
vehicle when the model goes through a complete makeover as early as next spring,
the Nikkei newspaper reported on Monday without citing sources.
The high-end trim lines of the redesigned Prius will have solar panels on the
roof, which will supply part of the 2-5 kilowatts needed to power the air
conditioners.
Toyota is planning to procure the panels from Kyocera Corp., which has a solid
track record of providing panels for homes and factories.
The carmaker intends to produce about 450,000 Priuses at home in 2009, up about
60 percent from 2007, the Nikkei said.
