Toyota hybrids fall on a multi-month backorder worldwide

The popular demand for part-electric Toyotas is so high, the automaker is unable to deliver on it, leaving customers in waiting queues spanning weeks or months.

Toyota buyers in Japan are currently looking at 2–5 months waiting time on average. Europe is slightly better off with 60–70 days, while India is at a disadvantage with waiting queues stretching up to 9 months.

According to the automaker, electronic parts vendors are largely to blame for the sluggish production. The global hybrid car market has been growing too fast lately, and most companies simply didn’t have the time to ramp up their production capacities, the company says.
