The leader in hybrid car making is planning to do another hybrid vehicle. And this time it will be a hybrid pickup truck. The new vehicle is called the A-BAT concept vehicle which claims to have that 100% fuel economy with lower gas emissions. The company said that the vehicle, which can carry four passengers, will have the gas-electric hybrid powertrain technology Hybrid Synergy Drive. It will also have the trapezoidal profile of the Prius which is another hybrid Toyota vehicle.
The president of Calty design research at Toyota’s North America-based research and design center Kevin Hunter said: “This concept is the next evolution of the compact truck. This compact truck is as comfortable for long commutes as it is for road trips. It can accommodate outdoor toys and home improvement supplies.”
