Toyota Motor Corp. and BYD Co. have agreed to co-develop all-electric cars and SUVs that will be marketed under Toyota’s name in China.
The vehicles will be introduced by 2025, according to the partners. Toyota, a relative latecomer to electrification, now says that half its sales volume worldwide—about 5.5 million vehicles—will be hybrids and all-electric vehicles by that time.
Toyota announced two days ago that it has finalized an EV battery development and supply deal with China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. CATL reportedly will begin supplying Toyota with batteries next year for its electrified models in China.

Mustang Changes for 2018
On Tuesday Ford unveiled—using the social media channels of actor Dwayne Johnson (this has got to unnerve some of the auto buff book editors)—the 2018 Mustang, which has undergone some modifications: under the hood (the 3.7-liter V6 is giving way to a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four, and a 10-speed automatic is available), on the dash (a 12-inch, all-digital LCD screen is available for the dashboard), at the tires (12 wheel choices), on the chassis (MagneRide damper technology is being offered with the Mustang Performance Package), and on the exterior (three new paint colors). And while on the subject of the exterior, there are some notable changes—a lower, remodeled hood, repositioned hood vents, new upper and lower front grilles, LED front lights, revised LED taillamps, new rear bumper and fascia.
