At the ongoing 42nd Tokyo Motor Show, Toyota is displaying a few environmentally friendly cars, two of which – one hydrogen powered and another all-electric – are slated for production..
Regarding the battery powered one, don’t let its experimental sounding name of “FT-EV III Concept” mislead you. This car could be on U.S. streets by next year.
Also not all that far off, will be the hydrogen-powered FCV-R Concept, which Toyota says should be launched for fleet use in "about 2015."
The theme of the 2009 Tokyo Auto Show 2009 is “Fun Driving for Us, Eco Driving for Earth.” So, it’s no surprise that Japan’s biggest automakers will be rolling out their funkiest electric cars—vehicles that can lean, download files from home, and carry smaller electric unicycles. The show opens to the public on Oct. 24.
