There must be some government subsidy for hybrid cars because Mongolia is the land of the Prius. Seriously - half the cars here are Prius. At the lights in UB on the first day we saw 7 in a row.
Half of them are right hand drive - when they drive open the right (generally) here. Apparently they are imported from Japan when they approach end-of-life.
It is amazing what a Prius can do! We have seen them crossing rivers with water up over the bonnet, water skiing through puddles, we have seen them out on tracks in the mud getting through when we were struggling. And all loaded with the whole family, a few kids on Mums knee at the front and the rest with Grandma in the back. Today we finally saw one dead on a track after trying to jump just one too many dips. They look pretty hard to stop.
