    TOKYO - Toyota's Prius started out a decade ago as a risky experiment in green technology.


    Today, it's the world's first mass-produced gas-electric hybrid vehicle to hit the one million mark in sales. The Prius, which went on sale in Japan in 1997, has been a big hit with drivers around the world and is now sold in 40 countries and regions. Its popularity is going strong amid surging gas prices and growing concerns about the environment.


    Toyota Motor Corp. said Thursday a cumulative 1.028 million Prius vehicles have been sold globally as of the end of April.


    Toyota, Japan's top automaker, sells other hybrid models, but the Prius has been by far the most popular model. Toyota has said it plans to sell a million hybrids annually sometime in the few years after 2010.
