   Lexus plans its first EV for Europe and China

   SHANGHAI AUTO SHOW: Lexus plans its first EV for Europe, China push
   
   SHANGHAI — Declaring that a pure electric vehicle is necessary for China and Europe, Lexus International President Yoshihiro Sawa said last week that the luxury brand is working on its first EV.
   
   But exactly what it will be and when it will appear, the Toyota marque is still trying to figure out.
   
   
   "Definitely here we need an EV in the future," Sawa said last week in an interview at the Shanghai auto show, where Lexus debuted its LM luxury van. "But I cannot say when or how."
   
   China's strict emissions controls and mandates for electric vehicle credits are driving automakers into EVs. And Lexus will also need them in Europe, where certain cities have strict EV requirements, Sawa said. Launch timing will hinge on the course of regulation, he added.
