A new Guinness World Record™ was set by Toyota Motor Company for having the most vehicles in a hybrid parade. The parade took place at the Alameda Air Field where there were a total of 332 Prius owners in attendance to participate in the parade and help break the record.
“The Bay Area is home to hundreds of thousands of proud Prius owners, and we wanted to pay homage to the Prius this Earth Day,” said Pete Carey, vice president and general manager for Toyota Motor Sales. “We wanted to celebrate this revolutionary vehicle and the folks behind the wheel who’ve always been our early-adopters, thinking bigger about their carbon footprint and environmental impact.”
Currently, about 40 percent of the Prius vehicles in the country are owned by customers that live in California, with Norther California being a particularly popular Prius area.
