Toyota’s latest addition to its Japan Mobility Show 2023 (JMS 2023) roster, a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) concept dubbed the, KAYOIBAKO.
Rooted in its Japanese background, its moniker denotes the meaning of configurable shipping containers, which emphasises adaptability and space practicality.
A chameleon, the electric minivan, or utility van concept is built to be a new type of compact space carrier, for commercial and personal use.
Its exterior and interior can be tailored to suit various roles, and support a range of applications. This allows it to integrate with smart grids and other social systems.
For commercial use, it can address issues such as last-mile logistics, or be made into mobile shops, public transports and first-aid vehicles.
As for personal use, it caters to both urban and nature lifestyles, offers custom individual modifications, and comes with disabled-friendly fitments.
That said, on October 26, it will flank the other previously announced Toyota BEV concepts, the FT-3e SUV and FT-Se high-performance sedan.
