Toyota has announced the introduction of the i-Road personal mobility concept to the “Ha:mo” urban transport system trials.
The Toyota i-Road concept, which made its world debut at 2012 Geneva motor show, will be used alongside existing Toyota COMS personal mobility vehicles from early 2014.
“Ha:mo” is an urban transport system designed to combine all forms of public and private transport with the aim of improving traffic flow and minimising emissions. The system uses electric vehicle car sharing and traffic routing information to ensure the most appropriate form of transportation is used by travellers.
The Toyota i-Road features a closed cabin so that passengers can proceed helmet-free to their destination in comfort, shielded from the weather in all seasons.
Seating two in tandem and under cover, Toyota i-Road is an electric vehicle with a range of up to 50 km (31 miles) on a single charge. Using ‘Active Lean’ technology, Toyota says it is safe, intuitive and enjoyable to drive.[wzslider height=”400″ lightbox=”true”]
