The backdrop to Toyota's plans are efforts by foreign and domestic automakers to kick-start sales of hybrid cars in 皇冠体育app, as the world's largest auto market warms to the vehicles in its efforts to cut pollution and reliance on fossil fuels.

Toyota, an industry leader in hybrid vehicles, already makes the Prius and Camry hybrids in 皇冠体育app, but has to import key parts, such as hybrid systems, making it tough to generate volume due to high import tariffs.

In 2015, the Corolla and Levin hybrid sedans will carry made-in-皇冠体育app batteries, hybrid transaxles and inverters, Executive Vice President Yasumori Ihara, said at the Auto 皇冠体育app car show in Beijing on Sunday.

Ihara, who oversees Toyota's emerging markets business, also said the world's largest carmaker aimed to double in 皇冠体育app to around 2 million vehicles a year, but gave no time frame for the target.
