By and large, the company is as ecologically-minded as a multi-national  corporation can be, but as we&#8217;ve touched on before, not everything is  as squeaky clean as it could be. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/prius\">Toyota Prius<\/a> has earned itself as one of the greenest vehicles on the road \u2014 a  perception that the company&#8217;s report confirmed by detailing the fact  that over its lifetime, the Prius is likely to emit much less carbon  dioxide than other comparable vehicles. Unfortunately, that truth is offset a bit by the fact that the vehicle  performs marginally worse than average when it comes to the emissions  generated to build hybrid. Specifically, Toyota cranks out extra  nonmethane hydrocarbons and particulate matter, thanks specifically to  the manufacturing of the car&#8217;s electric motor and battery pack. Those  two pieces require larger amounts of energy and materials, snagging the  Prius lower than average ratings across all five manufacturing emissions  categories. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/10\/19\/study-the-toyota-prius-has-a-dirty-side-after-all-manufacturi\/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+weblogsinc%2Fautoblog+%28Autoblog%29\" target=\"_blank\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>News selected by Covalence | Country: Global |  Company: Toyota |  Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/10\/19\/study-the-toyota-prius-has-a-dirty-side-after-all-manufacturi\/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+weblogsinc%2Fautoblog+%28Autoblog%29\" target=\"_blank\">Auto Blog<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are plenty of revelations in the annual sustainability report recently released by Toyota.
