Toyota Motor Corp has started selling the C+pod, an environmentally-friendly two-seater ultra-compact battery electric vehicle (BEV), to the public after launching it for select corporate and municipal customers last year.
The C+pod is smaller than a mini-vehicle and designed as a mobility option for those who frequently travel short distances with few passengers.
The targeted users are the young, single new drivers, or older individuals who may be nervous about driving.
All vehicles will be offered via lease contracts that enable casual C+pod use while also ensuring comprehensive vehicle collection with proactive reduce, re-use, and recycle initiatives for the onboard batteries.
The C+pod is part of Toyota's goal of achieving carbon-neutrality in the mobility society.
Toyota will continue to offer a diverse mobility lineup, including C+walk T(3), to match the customers' needs no matter their stage of life or ability.
