Toyota has no plans to sell diesel-hybrid cars, Katsuaki Watanabe, the carmaker's president, said.

Watanabe said diesel hybrids would be too expensive for customers. "Technologically, a passenger car with a diesel hybrid is feasible for us since we already have a truck in Japan with a diesel hybrid. But a diesel hybrid car would cost more than a gasoline hybrid. Today we have no plans to introduce a diesel hybrid," Watanabe said,
