Toyota Motor Corp.'s Prius car qualified for a $2,000 U.S. tax deduction, the first gasoline-electric vehicle to be certified under a program to encourage sales of low-pollution cars and trucks. Buyers of new 2001, 2002 and 2003 models can claim the deduction for the year when the car first was put to use, the Internal Revenue Service said in a statement. The IRS said in May that it would expand the deduction from electric vehicles to the hybrid cars and trucks.
