Toyota: No Prius subsidy Toyota Motor Corp. denied it had received any funding from the Japanese government to develop the Prius gasoline-electric hybrid.
Business Week quoted Jim Press, president of Chrysler and a former board member at Toyota, as saying: "The Japanese government paid for 100 percent of the development of the battery and hybrid system that went into the Toyota Prius."
Toyota called the report untrue.
"Toyota received absolutely no support -- no money, no grants -- from the Japanese government for the development of the Prius," said Toyota spokesman Paul Nolasco.
