Japan's Toyota Motor Corp will invest 400 million zlotys ($113 million) in manufacturing a new combustion engine for hybrid vehicles in Poland, the company and Polish authorities said recently.

Toyota will start production of the new-generation 1.5 litre engine from 2020 in its factory in the south-western city of Jelcz-Laskowice.

The engine will be used in so-called hybrid vehicles, which also have an electric engine installed.

"Hybrid drives currently account for 40 per cent of Toyota's European sales and their share is growing rapidly," Eiji Takeichi, head of Toyota Motor Manufacturing Poland, was quoted as saying in a statement from the Polish economy ministry.
