Toyota FT-EV at Detroit

15th January 2009

The iQ has upped its game! An all-electric version of the city car was revealed at Detroit, called the FT-EV concept. Featuring an all-new electric drive train, the range is limited to around 50-miles.  

Following the announcement this year of Toyota’s first operating loss in 71 years, the FT-EV is likely to see production in 2012, and kick-start a move towards an entire range of zero emissions vehicles.

But it’s not just electric cars that are occupying Toyota’s engineers. Starting with the all-new Prius unveiled this week, the Japanese manufacturer intends to sell a million hybrids a year after 2010 and introduce up to 10 new fuel-efficient models over the next few years.
