Toyota FT EV II Concept 2010
Electric Vehicles - for shorter distance mobility Electricity has high potential as an alternative energy source to oil. It can be supplied easily, and produced from renewable sources such as solar, wind and hydro-electric power. Toyota has been strengthening its knowledge and engineering capability in the field of electric vehicles, and continues develop short range EVs for commercialisation.
On stage at the 2010 Paris Motorshow, the FT-EV II concept is a compact EV with a top-speed of 100 km/h and a driving range of over 90 km. Toyota plans to launch a lithium-ion battery equipped EV in the United States in 2012. In May 2010, Toyota Motor Corporation and Tesla Motors Inc announced their intention to cooperate in the development of electric vehicles and parts, as well as production system and engineering support. In July, the two companies initiated the development of an EV combining the Toyota RAV4 model with a Tesla electric powertrain. With the aim of marketing the new EV in the United States in 2012, Tesla plans to produce and deliver a fleet of prototypes to Toyota for evaluation within this year. The first prototype has already been built and is now undergoing testing. Wallpapers: Toyota FT EV II Concept 2010
