TOYOTA ELECTRIC PM CONCEPT CARS


Toyota PM Concept Car

Toyota PM is highly maneuverable thanks to its castor like wheels capable of rotating through 180 degrees. The front wheels are also notable because of their hub-less design.
The futuristic Toyota PM concept from 2003 is a personal transport concept.
The PM's cockpit opens by touching one of the unusual stalk mounted headlights, this then glows green to announce the impending opening of the glass canopy.
Another interesting feature Toyota has built into the PM is its adjustable ride height and attitude. As the PM's speed increases it lowers to the ground to increase stability and improve aerodynamics.
Inside the PM information regarding vehicle performance and the location of other PM's is relayed to the single occupant by a floating virtual display.
Power for the concept comes from an electric motor

Its design will influence the entire Toyota brand and its hybrid models in the future.A vision for future environmentally friendly motoring, the appearance of Hybrid X comes soon after Toyota announced it would build a hybrid Camry in Australia from 2010.

Hybrid X is the latest concept to demonstrate Toyota’s world-leading Hybrid Synergy Drive® technology, which is at the core of the company’s strategy to develop the ultimate eco-car.

The show car fits clearly within Toyota’s environmental strategy of offering sustainable mobility for modern families. It has the dimensions of a conventional family car with an overall length of 4,500mm and wheelbase of 2,800mm. The width is 1,850mm and height 1,440mm.

It proposes unconventional creative solutions that will potentially become the signature points of a specific hybrid identity. Hybrid X features a futuristic body shape that is dominated by two ‘U’ shapes created by the upper glass frame area and the unconventional A and C pillars.

Viewed from above, this gives the impression of a large X – hence the name of the concept, Hybrid X. Dynamic hints of driving performance are provided by the customised 20-inch alloy wheels with ultra-low profile 225/40 R20 tyres.

LED headlamps are integrated into the dashboard and are now part of the interior of the car and can communicate information such as safety distances, acceleration and braking to other drivers and pedestrians.

The driver can set the ambience within the car, controlling sight, sound, touch and even smell.
A drive-by-wire steering pad features a central screen to relay information to the driver about the energy flow path, fuel consumption and gear position.

Space-saving seats are formed using injected foam techniques, which create comfort while reducing weight. The two independent rear seats can swivel by 12 degrees to allow passengers to enjoy the scenery or conversation.

The Mob is the proposal to Toyota Sports Cars Concept. Toyota MOB concept car, was designed by Spanish designer Jorge Marti Vidal. The Mobius strips have been involved into these cars. The Mob Toyota Sports Cars Concept is the work of Spanish designer Jorge Marti Vidal. The concept was developed during his final year of the Masters degree course in automotive design at the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia.

The “Toyota MOB” is a cars concept that inspired by the idea of the Mobius strip incorporates unusual bodywork. There are the two films also available to change the interior and the exterior structure of this sports cars.
These two films are also responsible to form the dash board and the seats of the car. The main central area, where the driver is use to be seated, is transparent to feel real sensation of the car racing. With the help of the transparent central area, the driver of the Mob can view the ground closely. The wheels emulate the shapes of the blossoming flowers. The car was made of an organic material “liquid wood,” which is created using the waste product of lignin, left after the manufacture of paper.
The liquid wood is from one of the organic materials that can easily be modified into various shapes. The zero-emission car carries two continuous panels, which weave their way back and forth to form the body and the chassis. Moving on the wheels with built-in motors, the racing car includes an all-electric drivetrain to ensure an in-wheel drive. Measuring 3,643 x 1,787 x 1,063mm (LWH) in dimensions, the electric vehicle tout dynamic eco credentials without compromising the thrill.
To further improve the Toyota MOB’s eco-friendly credentials, the proposed drivetrain is all-electric – with each wheel getting its own dedicated motor. Vidal envisaged the Toyota MOB as a environmentally responsible racing car, but it could just as easily act as a lightweight sports cars. As such the car is fitted with a small cargo area for storing personal items.

Adding more to Concept’s green factor is an all electric drivetrain, wherein all the wheels have individual motors to propel the car. Coming to its construction, the car is made of two panels that weave back and forth. The panels not only give this vehicle a perfect shape, but make up everything from the bodywork and chassis, to the seats and dashboard. The designer has envisioned an eco friendly and lightweight race car that makes environment feel happy.
