Toyota to Display Sustainability Concepts at Tokyo Show

Tokyo — TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION (TMC) announced today that it plans to exhibit eight concept and 13 other vehicles at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show under the theme: “Harmonious Drive—a New Tomorrow for People and the Planet”.

In keeping with its tradition of highlighting new, automotive possibilities at the Tokyo Motor Show in the form of a wide variety of concept vehicles and groundbreaking technologies, TMC's exhibit, this time as well, is meant to provide new proposals for the automobile. Planned highlights include a vehicle that completely redefines what it means to be environmentally considerate and one that rewrites the rules of auto design with a proposal for ultra-efficient vehicle packaging.

Through the exhibit, TMC aims to showcase its pursuit of the essential emotional appeal of cars—being fun to drive and a pleasure to use — and to indicate its approach toward making sustainable mobility a reality so that people can coexist in harmony with the environment.

Toyota concept vehicles at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show:

1. 1/X — a redefinition of “environmentally considerate” /li>

2. RiN — a new focus on promoting well-being

3. i-REAL — a new personal mobility vehicle

4. iQ CONCEPT — ultra-efficient packaging like no other

5. Hi-CT (“hi ride city truck”) — an edgy, urban vehicle

6. FT-MV (“future Toyota minivan”) — a first-class, new-generation minivan

7. CROWN HYBRID CONCEPT — a hybrid luxury sedan

8. FT-HS (“future Toyota hybrid sports”) — a next-generation hybrid sports car

You have most of these already, but it seems you missed the most important one (and not because of the NG hybrid powertrain). :AH-HA_wink:
