Compact, electric and sustainable – with the FT-Me, Toyota presents an innovative micromobility concept for European cities.
Toyota Motor Europe has launched the FT-Me developed a fully electric concept vehicle specifically designed for dense urban traffic in Europe.
Light electric vehicle for urban areas
The vehicle falls into the EC vehicle class L6e, which means it is classified as a light quadricycle. With a weight of only 425 kg and a length of less than 2,5 meters The FT-Me is extremely compact – perfect for tight parking spaces and urban Mobility.
Well-thought-out design with practical advantages
Visually, the FT-Me is based on a Jet helmet, which gives it a robust yet lightweight appearance. Particularly practical: It only takes up half of a normal parking space, and parked at right angles, it's only a third. This not only creates more space in cities, but also makes parking easier.
The interior of the vehicle offers space for Two people and relies on a 360-degree view conceptThis ensures maximum visibility in traffic and increases safety. Toyota has also installed an innovative control system – the FT-Me can exclusively by manual commands via the Steering wheel being controlled. There are no pedals, which makes him particularly wheelchair user interesting because no conversions are necessary.
Electric power with solar technology
In terms of performance, the FT-Me is based on the 8,2 PS that are permitted for its vehicle class. Things get interesting when it comes to efficiency: According to Toyota the FT-Me consumes three times less energy per kilometer than conventional electric cars with large battery.
Additionally there is Solar panels on the roofwhich, under optimal conditions up to 30 kilometers range per day This could be a useful addition to the battery, especially in the city.
Focus on sustainability
Toyota emphasizes that the FT-Me recycled materials to minimize environmental impact. CO₂ footprint should be compared to today’s City vehicles reduced by 90 percent This could make the FT-Me a real alternative for sustainable urban mobility – if it goes into series production.
When will the FT-Me hit the streets?
Toyota hasn't yet announced a market launch or a specific price. However, the concept shows the direction urban mobility could take. It remains to be seen whether and when the FT-Me will go into series production. All further information about Toyota You can find FT-Me in the video!
