Toyota FT-Bh Concept: An ultra efficient supermini coming to Geneva
by NextCars.NetToyota’s FT-Bh notion breaks new boundaries in small vehicle effectiveness. It is as spacious as an regular five-door supermini, but creates about 50 per cent less CO2, and tipping the scales at underneath 800kg, it weighs less than a 3-door Aygo.
These feats have not been achieved by utilizing exotic components or costly methods: from the outset Toyota established that the FT-Bh would be created making use of commonplace, economically viable production approaches and technologies, such as a down-sized total hybrid powertrain.
Toyota took a “total vehicle” strategy, focusing on 5 places of style and engineering to obtain the highest fuel effectiveness and lowest emissions: weight reduction, optimum aerodynamic functionality (reaching a 30 per cent obtain), powertrain efficiency, thermal energy management and electricity conserving.
The FT-Bh notion can make its globe debut at the Geneva motor display, at 10.15am on six March.
