Toyota will introduce electric shuttles for 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo

Toyota will introduce electric shuttles for 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. Toyota has also announced that it will introduce an APM (Accessible People Mover). It will be made for next summer’s sports. The car will be open-air and has three rows. It can seat 5 people and its speed can be 12 miles per hour.

These cars will be powered by a lithium-ion battery. Once charged, this car will be able to run for 100 km. A fleet of 100 cars will bring people to and from various events in Olympics Village.

Surprisingly Toyota’s APM is not for the general public. These open-air vehicles are similar to golf carts. Toyota has also built a wheelchair space in every APM.

This transportation solution from Toyota is important for disabled athletes and guests. People with disabilities faced considerable difficulties during the 2018 Paralympics Games in New Korea. Tokyo is one of the world’s most advanced cities. This city has its own problems. In the previous Olympics, tickets were not even sold. The demand for tickets is high in Tokyo, so there will be more rush.

Toyota will introduce many more innovations at the Olympics. Among them will be a flying car, which illuminates the Olympic torch. In addition, robots will bring food and drinks for guests. Toyota is also planning to build robots that will help drive wheelchairs. The 2020 Olympics will feature technology demonstrations that will have a profound impact on human life.
