“Ha:mo” is an urban transport system designed to combine all forms of public and private transport with the aim of improving traffic flow and minimising emissions. The system uses electric vehicle car sharing and traffic routing information to ensure the most appropriate form of transportation is used by travellers.
Seating two in tandem and under cover, i-Road is an electric vehicle with a range of up to 30 miles (50km) on a single charge. Using ‘Active Lean’ technology, Toyota says it is safe, intuitive and enjoyable to drive, with no need for driver or passenger to wear a helmet.
