Toyota, the Japanese worldwide partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, has released its full lineup of electric vehicles that will be used in the Tokyo 2020 games.
The automaker's stated goal is to achieve the lowest emission level of any official fleet used at the Olympic and Paralympic Games. To do this, Toyota will provide 3,700 mobility products for the games, 90% of which will be electric. They will include hybrids, fuel cell electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, Prius Primes, and battery electric vehicles.
In total, Toyota estimates that the CO2 emissions will average less than 80 grams per kilometer, which is estimated to be half the amount a conventional gasoline and diesel-fueled fleet of this size would produce.
In an aim to achieve "Mobility for All", the vehicles will be servicing different aspects of the games. For example, some will be transporting people between venues and others only within venues. Another is only tasked with moving around the athletes and other staff within the Olympic and Paralympic Villages.
Some vehicles, like the Mirai, are already commercially available, while others, like the Accessible People Mover, are being developed specifically for the games. There's also a version of Toyota's autonomous shuttle that will have its own Tokyo 2020 version.
From cars to shuttles to Segway-like personal mobility devices, here are all the electric vehicles Toyota plans on using for next year's Olympic games:
