| Toyota's first electric vehicle arrives in 2022 |
Toyota is a leading electric vehicle manufacturer, but with support from its competitors, it has announced its EV strategy to bring 15 battery-powered electric cars to the market by 2025.
The company paved the way for companies like Tesla to prove that alternative cars are very popular and unveiled a new electric vehicle concept called the BZ4X at the Shanghai Auto Show.
In the future, the electric SUV concept will become a starting point for other commercial BZ models.
Toyota has not revealed any details or specifications for the BZ4X, but has said that the car will be released in China and Japan later this year.
Toyota said Toyota will bring a total of 70 new models to the market by 2025, including batteries, hydrogen fuel cells and plug-in hybrid vehicles, providing customers with a variety of options.
Toyota Motor, the world's largest automaker, uses its flexible platform that was developed in cooperation with Japanese automaker Subaru to manufacture these vehicles.
The BZ4X is based on the e-TNGA platform and has several features including a steering system that prevents physical contact between the steering wheel and wheels, all-wheel drive, improved visibility and a regenerative braking system commonly used for EVs. .
Toyota said: The BZ4X will be launched worldwide in mid-2022. While this is only a concept, it appears that the BZ4X is about to expire.
There are a number of unique gadgets in the car and the screen retracts from the steering wheel, Toyota says: This improves the driver's vision.
The central infotainment screen appears to float on the dashboard, and there are several physical buttons on the center console and steering wheel, which indicates that Toyota does not accept the digital user experience like Tesla.
Although it has become one of the early adopters of battery-powered transportation, Toyota still rejects electric cars as the future of the auto industry.
Toyota praised its success in the hybrid electric vehicle market in the advertisement, stating that the company has sold 17 million electric cars since the Prius was launched in 1997.
Companies like Nissan, General Motors, and Volkswagen have sold battery-powered cars for many years and are revealing plans to phase out fully-fueled vehicles.
Toyota executives, including billionaire and CEO Akio Toyoda, have described the trend in electric vehicle noise, in part due to emissions from power plants.
