Toyota has unveiled its latest EV van concept, the Kayoibako. The new concept van is a box on wheels that maximizes space with its impressive design. The Toyota Kayoibako concept EV van is a multipurpose EV inspired by shipping containers. The new concept EV van is part of Toyota’s lineup at the Japan Mobility Show 2023.
The Toyota Kayoibako EV Van reflects what the future of EVs should look like
The Kayoibako looks like a space cargo hauler and comes with a simple design that could fast-track its transition into a production vehicle for the most part. The interior and exterior are as simplistic as they can be. The Kayoibako is being primed as a highly modular vehicle platform that is configurable to suit an array of options. It can operate as a cargo van, a shuttle bus, a mobile retail kiosk, as well a shuttle delivery van. The van is 13ft long, about 6ft wide, and 6ft tall.
The Toyota Kayoibako EV van concept has a massive curved display across the upper dash area of the car. The infotainment utility of the car is bound to be tech-laden. The car uses cameras in place of rear-view and side mirrors for a more expansive view of your surroundings. It uses digital side mirrors which allows the car to easily navigate even tight alleys. The mirrors are integrated into the van’s dash display. The car however seems to have a low load floor which will enhance the loading of cargo without the need for a ramp.
It will be interesting to see Toyota transform some of its impressive concept offerings into production vehicles. The company has not stated any plans for the subsequent release of the Kayoibako EV in the near future.
