Japan’s three biggest carmakers rank the lowest among global auto companies when it comes to decarbonization efforts, according to a study by Greenpeace, as the climate crisis intensifies the need to shift to zero-emission vehicles.
While the European Union has taken steps to ban the sale of new combustion-engine vehicles by 2035, and China has boosted its share of battery-powered electric cars, the largest automakers in Japan -- Toyota Motor Corp., Nissan Motor Co. and Honda Motor Co. -- have been slower to respond, the environmental advocacy group said in a statement Thursday.
