Clean Car Wars by Yozo Hasegawa
As American automakers lose market share, Honda and Toyota are soaring on the backs of their high--quality low--emissions vehicles. The increasing trend toward clean car technology means those companies that can build the best low--emission car will have the best chance of long--term success and survival. Clean Car Wars presents a revealing look at the Japanese auto industry and how its two biggest automakers are battling each other, and the world, for supremacy of this vital emerging market.
