Toyota kept to its tradition of highlighting new automotive possibilities at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show by showcasing a wide variety of concept vehicles and groundbreaking company showed no less than eight concept vehicles under the theme:"Harmonious drive - a new tomorrow for people and the planet."

Highlights included a vehicle thatcompletely redefines what it means to beenmpletentally considerate and and one thatrewrites the rules of  auto design with a proposal for ultra-efficient vehicle packaging.

Through the exhibit, Toyota aims to showcase its pursuit of the emotional appeal of cars  -  making them fun to drive and a pleasure to use - and to indicate its approach towards making sustainable mobility a reality so that people can coexist in harmony with the environment.

The concepts on show by the Japanese manufacturer included the 1/X. Among its attributes , the vehicle weighs only "1/Xth" that of other vehicles in its class.

The concept maintains an interior space on par with that of the Prius , but aims to be twice as efficient ,weighing only 420kg (about one - third the weight of the Prius).

It also combines fossil fuel consumption - reducing FFV (Flexible fuel vehicle) technology and a plug - in hybrid powertrain with a displacement of only 500cc. Battery charging is possible from an external power source , which allows a longer electric -motor cruising distance ; thus ,in addition to being adapted for energy diversity ,the car emits less CO2.

The vehicle power unit is located beneath the rear seat (for a mid - ship, rear - wheel drive system ) to comtribute to an innovative and highly efficient package.

The concept adopts light but highly rigid carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) throughout the body frame to ensure superior collision safety , while allotwing narrower pillars for a better field of vision.

Toyota also used Tokyo to show off its RIN concept. The RIN focuses on comfort and serenity . The concept aims to promote a healthier wellbeing thanks to features such as seats that help maintain good back posture.

In addition to featuring comfortable , heated seats , an oxygen - level conditioner and pinpoint humidifier, the designers have used green glass that reduces infiltration of ultraviolet and infrared light and makes the surroundings seem brighter and clearer to increase cabin comfort.

The aim is to create a feeling of harmony with the surrounding emvironment by using sliding doors with a low window as well as headlights with light distribution control that take into consideration pedestrians and vehicles coming in the opposite direction.

The concept uses the motif of the deep - rooted and tall - growing Yakusugi tree (a variety of Japanese cypress ) for its exterior and interior design.

The contrasts between deep green with beige in its interior colour scheme are supposed to "richen the complexions of those onboard and evoke a healthy mental and physical feeling."

Finally , the Hi - CT aims to offer a new "coolness" and new ways to have fun as a departure from convenional vehicles - an edgy ,urban vehicle inspired by the thinking and lifestyles of youth.

The concept offers a new kind of automotive cool and sense of enjoyment , says Toyota - a company not renowned for producing cool cars.

However, this concept has a new look unconstrained by conventional vehicle size (length 3,330mm x width 1,695mm x height 1,780mm ). It adopts plug-in hybrid technology , which allows it to charge from an external power source and gives it a greater driving range when running on its battery - powered motor ; placing the battery under the floor achieves a highly efficient cabin with a higher driver position.

The car is fitted with an AC100V accessory socket that enalbes stored electricity - made possible by plug -in hybrid technology -to be used in a variety of applications . It also features a removable rear trunk and a deck where surfboards, bicycles and other equipment can be loaded.

丰田汽车在第40届东京车展上通过展示一系列概念车及突破性技术，一如既往地突出汽车发展新均势。丰田展出至少八款概念车，主题如下：和谐驾车——人和地球的崭新明天。

其中的亮点包括一部完全重写环保概念定义的汽车，以及一部颠覆汽车设计原则的超高效车辆组合。

在车展中，丰田汽车旨在展现其对汽车感性诉求的追求——使汽车充满驾趣，让人们乐于使用，同时表明其向将可持续移动工具变为现实这一目标逼近，让人们能与环境和谐共处。

该日商在车展展出的另一个概念车是1/x车型。其特性就是该车仅重其系列其他车型的“x分之一”。

该概念车内部空间仍与Prius看齐，而能效却增加一倍，且重量仅为420千克（大约是Prius的三分之一）。

该汽车也结合了降低化石燃料消耗的灵活燃料技术（FFV,柔性燃料汽车），和排气量仅500cc的插入式混合动力系统；电池可以外接电源充电，增加了电动马达续航距离。因此，除了能源多元化外，该车型还实现了二氧化碳减排。

该车型的动力系统位于后座下方（中置引擎、后轮驱动系统），实现了创新和高效的组合。

该概念车车身采用了重量轻但高刚性的碳纤维增强塑料（CFRP)，使较细的中柱提供较好的视野，同时还确保高度防撞安全系数。

丰田汽车还在东京车展展出其Rin概念车。该车型着重舒适性及防噪程度。该概念车型旨在提供人们一个健康的乘车环境，如座椅的背靠设计就能使背部获得良好的支撑。

除了与众不同的可加温舒适座椅、供氧空调和小型加湿器，设计师还采用了绿色车窗来过滤紫外线和红外线，使周围环境看起来更加明亮清晰，提高乘坐人员的舒适性。

为了使人产生与周围环境和谐一体的感觉，车门采用拉门设计，窗户较低，光线分布控制头灯也充分考虑到了对面来车或行人。

该概念车的内外设计是以日本特有的屋久杉（Yakusugi tree，一种日本桧木）为灵感，该树木根深，枝干入天。

车内颜色设计为绿色和米色对照，目的在于给乘客”带来丰富的视觉盛宴，使身心愉悦舒畅“。

最后介绍的是Hi-CT概念车，提供与传统车辆截然不同的新”酷“味道，是一种新的乐趣来源。该设计前沿的都市车灵感来自年轻人的思考及生活方式。

该款概念车提供一种全新的炫酷驾驶乐趣体验，丰田汽车解释——这家公司并不因生产酷车闻名。

然而，该款概念车却有着不受传统汽车尺寸限制的车身（长3，300mmX宽1，695mmX高1，780mm），采用插入式混合动力技术，能从外接电源充电，使用电池动力马达时的行驶距离大为增加。将电池置于底板之下，使车内获得充分利用，同时驾驶位置也提高了。

该车型配有100V的交流配件插座，能将所储电力用于多种场合，这都归功于插入式混合动力技术。该车后部储物箱也可拆卸，卸后留下的底板上可载放冲浪板、自行车和其他设备等。
