Kyocera will replace all their company vehicles with hybrids

Kyocera in Japan has announced plans to replace their entire company fleet with hybrid vehicles. The vehicles are currently used for transportation between factories and for sales activities. The 194-strong fleet already includes 15 hybrids. The remainder will be replaced beginning this year. Kyocera estimates their current fleet averages about 465 tonnes CO2/ year while the hybrid-only fleet will average 204 tonnes CO2/ year. In addition to the hybrids, Kyocera has installed solar panels at their headquarters and plants. They have also shifted some of their shipping needs from trucks to rail.
