Another latest concept car by Toyota, FT- EV II. This car shown at 2009 Tokyo motor show. This electric car will become another future car. With the flexibility and design this car will boost the market.
According to the auto maker, “The FT-EV II is not simply an electric vehicle designed for a post-fossil fuel era, but is a sustainable concept car that focuses on the relationship between cars, people and society of the future.It can travel around 90km at up to 100km/h. Very effective in the class..
It don’t use steering wheel but controls using joystick similar reminiscent of some aircraft.
Toyota says the FT-EV II assumes that battery technology will advance significantly beyond the current lithium-ion batteries that are finding their way in to electric cars and hybrids and will be used in an electric car to be sold initially in the United States from 2012.
“We are looking ahead of the lithium-ion battery,” said Akihiro Yanaka, Toyota’s project manager for advanced vehicles.
“This vision [the FT-EV II] is a little bit further out in to the future. It assumes more developed forms of batteries, so that’s why it’s more compact and smaller (than other electric cars, including the original FT-EV)”
It’s cool..Can’t wait to see more electric car come to our world..
