Toyota's FT-Me is a compact, eco-friendly electric vehicle with smart features, a solar roof, and wheelchair-friendly controls for urban mobility.
The FT-Me was recently presented by Toyota Motor Europe (TME), and it is a new electric micro mobility solution suitable for urban commuters. The small car has been designed to hold two passengers to consume recycled materials in development, and to combine “premium design with affordability” to bring down its carbon footprint up to 90% from present city vehicles.
This new concept vehicle resonances Toyota mobility solutions for the Tokyo 2021 and Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic games and measures less than 2.5 meters long, allowing for outstanding maneuverability in congested towns.
According to the company, it will acquire half of a standard parking space, while this may be further reduced to one-third with perpendicular parking options. Toyota's latest concept car features a black and white bi-tone paint inspired by a jet helmet, signifying safety and a versatile, lightweight design.
According to the corporation, FT-Me is available to a wide range of users, including teens in certain areas and entry-level license holders. FT-Me's 360-degree visibility concept will increase safety by allowing drivers to make more eye contact, and it also offers configurable options. Further, advanced connectivity features provide keyless entry and smooth smartphone integration.
Wheelchair users can operate the vehicle without the requirement for modifications because its steering wheel can be controlled solely by hand commands. The FT-Me uses less energy than a conventional high-capacity battery electric vehicle because to its energy-efficient propulsion system.
This idea is in line with Toyota's "Mobility for All" tenet and appeals to a broad range of consumers, including those wishing to reduce the size of their cars in response to shifting urban conditions.
