Toyota introduces the KAYOIBAKO concept, offering an “ultra-extensible” mobility solution that adapts to individual and collective needs.
Toyota will be present at the Japan Mobility Show 2023, which will be held from Thursday, October 26 to Sunday, November 5 in Tokyo, with a stand themed “Let’s Change the Future of Cars – Find Your Future”.
In this second announcement of the models exhibited at the stand, after the FT-3e and FT-SE, Toyota unveils the KAYOIBAKO, a concept embodying a future of mobility that offers the freedom to live the way you want, anywhere and anytime.
The word “kayoibako” refers to configurable containers designed for safely and efficiently transporting parts and products, sized to eliminate waste and capable of meeting multiple needs through interchangeable inserts. By adopting this approach, the KAYOIBAKO is a new compact space concept that represents the future of mobility.
Toyota aimed to create a “quality basic unit” by focusing particularly on interior/exterior design and affordability. With an “ultra-extensible” design that allows adaptation to various roles, this battery-powered 100% electric vehicle (BEV) can meet many different uses…
- As an electric vehicle with customizable hardware and software for specific roles, the KAYOIBAKO will operate within smart networks and other intelligent collective systems.
- For professional applications, the KAYOIBAKO will offer solutions to various issues within collective infrastructure. For last-mile logistics, for example, the vehicle can contribute to smart distribution systems by enabling customization for efficient transportation of small volumes. The KAYOIBAKO can also be customized to meet community needs, such as installing product displays to create a mobile shop or adding seats to serve as a shuttle.
- For private use, the vehicle can be personalized according to individual tastes and preferences, evolving into a one-of-a-kind mobility solution. In addition to catering to various usage patterns and lifestyles, the KAYOIBAKO will also contribute to accessible mobility for all, for example, by adapting to provide easier access for wheelchair users.
