Toyota to install wind turbines at vehicle logistics center

Toyota Motor Corporation announced that holding company in Europe would install two wind turbines at its vehicle logistics center in Belgium, in a joint effort with Dutch energy group Eneco.

The two wind turbines are expected to be operational by 2013, generating approximately 3 MW with annual capacity of about 17.1 GWh.

Toyota said in a statement that its windmill project is part of a series of environmental activities that includes the "greening" of approximately 3,000 Toyota dealerships in Europe, in addition to the installation of what it termed “large scale” solar panels at Toyota Parts Center Europe in 2010.
