Hybrid Toyota up for grabs at UAE energy summit

ABU DHABI, January 14, 2017

Visitors to the upcoming World Future Energy Summit (WFES) and co-located events could drive away a brand new Toyota Prius, the world’s most popular environmentally-friendly car from Al-Futtaim Motors, exclusive distributor of Toyota and Lexus in the UAE and official sustainable transport partner of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW).

Attendees at the Middle East’s largest exhibition and conference dedicated to sustainability, will be automatically entered into a draw to win a Toyota Prius, as part of a focus on the future of mobility in a dedicated Sustainable Transport zone.

The competition is part of a community effort to raise awareness of the importance of conserving natural resources. There will also be other prizes for visitors, who simply register at the summit website.

The Toyota Prius was the world’s first mass-produced hybrid car when launched in 1997. With more than 3.5 million satisfied customers who have put their faith in the car, Prius is the world’s most successful hybrid vehicle, bringing ground-breaking environmental performance along with a striking new design, in addition to a fun-to-drive spirit that promises to appeal to eco-conscious customers as well as driving enthusiasts.

Now in its fourth generation, the Prius has proven the potential for ‘green’ motoring.

“Sustainable transport is an important element of WFES with the return of the Sustainable Transport zone for 2017, and for 20 years the Toyota Prius has led the way forward towards a cleaner future,” remarked Naji El Haddad, the group event director at Reed Exhibitions, which organises WFES in partnership with Masdar.

“We thank Al-Futtaim Motors for their support, and for offering this prize as part of the 10th edition of WFES,” he stated.

Saud Abbasi, the managing director of Toyota, at Al Futtaim Motors, said: "As the leader in sustainable motoring in the UAE, Al Futtaim Motors has been working relentlessly to help accelerate the shift towards green mobility in the country."

“The Toyota Prius which we introduced for the first time last year to the UAE, like Toyota’s other hybrid vehicles, offers an immediate solution to the question of sustainable mobility, as it requires no infrastructural development, no external charging and no changes in the driver’s behavior, fast-tracking towards the country’s sustainability goals," noted  Abbasi.

"Al-Futtaim Motors will display the Prius alongside other Toyota and Lexus hybrid vehicles at the show, with the carmaker now offering hybrid and other environmentally friendly technologies across both the Toyota and Lexus brands," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
