Toyota City Car Future.

Future Concept by FT-EV II.
Exhibition 2009 Tokyo Motor Show to reveal more of the future electric car technology, as reflected in the Toyota FT-EV II concept car that diperkenalkakn in this exhibition.

With the new battery technology and radical design like never before, this concept car shows what would be like an electric car future. This is Toyota's vision of future vehicles.
FT-EV II is an evolutionary improvement of the FT-EV concept that was shown at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show. FT-EV II is the embryo of an electric-powered city car of the future.

FT-EV II is smaller than any other Toyota models, even the micro-car than the Toyota iQ (four-passenger car in the world's smallest). With such a small size, the FT-EV II still can accommodate four people with a layout of three plus one, like the Toyota iQ. Composition of three adults and one child. If not used, the child seat can also be changed function so the goods. Key efficiency II FT-EV is a careful arrangement and cautious about the placement of the battery and electric motor. The result, the front room that can be used for the passenger compartment.

Sliding door provides easy access in and out. The door is very practical model for urban areas that have limited parking space, where the distance between parked cars between very narrow.
Electric motor can propel the car until 100km/jam with the ability to cruise up to 90km.
The most glaring absence in the interior is the steering wheel, replaced the control stick similar to that used aircraft.

Toyota is also designing the windshield very wide. Glass like this, in addition to improving the visibility inside the driver's passengers also feels roomy.
According to Toyota, the FT-EV II will use the battery that far more sophisticated than Lithium-ion, battery current best. As we all know, Toyota is developing battery technology that has the ability to save energy up to 10 times more than the Li-ion, but the weight and smaller dimensions. This battery is estimated to be massively applied in electric and hybrid cars over the next decade.

"Toyota is looking for something better than Lithium-ion batteries," said Akihiro Yanaka, project manager for advanced cars Toyota. By using more sophisticated batteries, battery size can be made more concise, while it increased peformanya. That is why Toyota designed the FT-EV II so tiny, even smaller than the FT-EV.

Toyota did not stop the efforts to improve the efficiency of such systems pengerak electric motor and battery. Yataka explained, Toyota is also working to improve the efficiency of other components. Example AC, which includes energy-intensive. This effort to reduce the burden of energy sources and continue trying to obtain a more efficient method for creating comfort.
