Toyota has announced five world premieres for the upcoming Tokyo Auto Show, which will open to the public on November 22nd.
Toyota FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle)
This model previews the hydrogen-powered vehicle that Toyota plans to launch around 2015 as a pioneer in the development of fuel cell technology. It has a range of about 480 kilometres with a full tank, which takes only three minutes to fill.
Toyota FV2
This concept has no steering wheel; instead, it is operated by the driver shifting his or her body intuitively to move the vehicle forwards or back, left or right. There is only one wheel up front and in the rear, but two on the sides. Several safety features are included such as blind spot monitoring and advance warning near intersections. Vehicle information is displayed on the windshield, and the body colour and exterior display can be changed at will depending on the driver's mood.
JPN Taxi Concept
Toyota's taxi concept for the Japanese market is a hybrid that runs on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). It was designed in accordance with government guidelines for accessible buses and taxis that meet regional needs. Passengers will appreciate the large, electric doors that make access easy.
Noah and Voxy concepts
These two vehicles are seven-seat compact crossovers for the Japanese market only. Their production versions will go on sale in early 2014.
