The theme of this year's Motor Show
is Logistics for the 21st Century. Toyota Motor Corporation(TMC),
Hino Motors, Ltd., and Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. have combined to
offer a full lineup of commercial vehicles ranging from light trucks
to large trucks and buses that anticipate the demands of the future.
We have exhibits in the areas of the environment, ITS(Intelligent
Transport System), and transporting the aged and disabled. 22 demonstration
vehicles, 29 commercial vehicle production models, and 13 specially-equipped
vehicles including vehicles to transport aged and disabled are on
display for a total of 64 exhibits. |
Among these displays, Toyota provides
exhibits of its work on commercial vehicles in anticipation of the
needs of the 21st century:
New disel technology for further reductions in CO2 and cleaner
emissions
Hybrid vehicles and alternative-fuel vehicles running on fuels
such as CNG and LPG
High-efficiency next-generation transport management systems
for logistics using ITS(Intelligent Transport System)technology
Nursing care vehicles enabling easy wheelchair access and
movement |
JOINT EXHIBITS(TMC DISPLAYS)
1. Environment
Presentation of work on the global environment and global environmental
preservation, including work on cleaner emissions, alternative
energy sources, and energy conservation.
A. Cleaner diesel emissions
