Tokyo Motor Show 2009 exhibition reveals more of the technology of the future electric car, as evidenced by the Toyota FT-EV II concept car that diperkenalkakn in this exhibition.
With the new battery technology and radical design that never existed before, this concept car shows what kind of electric cars in the future. Toyota is the vision of the future vehicles.
FT-EV II is actually a refinement of the evolving concept FT-EV, which was shown at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show. FT-EV II is the embryo of a city car with electric propulsion the future.
FT-EV II is less than any other model of Toyota, even compared to the Toyota iQ micro-car (the smallest of the four cars in the world). With that size, the FT-EV II still sleeps four with an arrangement of three plus one, like the Toyota iQ. The composition of three adults and one child. If not used, the child seat can also be changed according to the property. The key to the effectiveness of the FT-EV II space is a structure. Thorough and careful placement of the battery electric motor and the result, the first piece that can be exploited to the cabin.
The sliding door provides easy access and exit. The door is very convenient model for urban areas with limited parking space where the distance between the parked cars are very narrow.
The electric motor can propel the car to the capabilities of the homeless 100km/jam up to 90 km. The most notable absence in the interior behind the wheel, replaced the control lever similar to that used pesawatToyota also designed the glass facade is very broad. Glass of this type, and improve driver visibility is also passengers in spacious feel.
According to Toyota, the FT-EV II, use much more sophisticated batteries, lithium ion, the current best. As we all know, Toyota to develop battery technology, which has the ability to store energy for up to 10 times faster than lithium ion, but the weight and size. These batteries are required to apply a series of electric and hybrid cars over the next decade.
"We are looking for something better than the lithium batteries," said Akihiro Yanaka, Project Manager, Toyota sophisticated. Using a more sophisticated batteries, battery size can be compressed, while peformanya grow. That's why Toyota designed for the FT-EV II is so small, even smaller than the FT-EV.
Toyota did not stop their efforts to improve the efficiency of such systems pengerak electric motor and batteries. Yataka said Toyota is also working to improve the effectiveness of other components. For example, air conditioners, including energy-intensive. This effort to reduce the burden of energy.
"We strive for a more efficient way to create comfort. You do not need to heat or cool the whole cabin if you can cool or heat the passenger's body, "said Yataka.
