Toyota�s i-ROAD made a debut in the Geneva Auto Show that started today in Geneva of Switzerland. A total of 900 vehicles from around the world are displayed, of which 100 are newly-built vehicles like Toyota�s i-ROAD that is a concept car of Toyota�s ultra small EV. The driver can drive an i-ROAD as if he rides a motorcycle. It is expected to contribute to solving problems arising from the shortage of parking space in the urban area.
Toyota is scheduled to start a demonstrative experiment of car-sharing for short distance travel in France in collaboration with Electricite de France starting late 2014. The vehicle to be used in the experiment will be based on the i-ROAD and Toyota�s COMS. Toyota will provide a total of 70 ultra small EVs to the Grenoble metropolis in France. This is part of the eco city development project fostered by Grenoble. This is an epoch-making project to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and atmospheric contaminants. Toyota will also provide an information management system named �One Mile Mobility Operation Management System� that allows for easy reservation of a vehicle and confirmation of the position and availability of a vehicle with a help of smartphone.
