Small, but big. Toyota unveiled at the Kenshiki Forum in Brussels the FT-Me, an innovative concept that represents a vision of all-electric micro-mobility and is intended to combine careful design with an affordable price. Inspired in style by a motorbike helmet and in design by the alternative mobility solutions created by Toyota for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo 2021 and Paris 2024, the FT-Me aims to respond to the evolving needs of city dwellers and the challenges of modern urban environments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The FT-Me is a compact yet spacious two-seater, measuring less than two and a half metres in length. Its design emphasises manoeuvrability, taking up only half of a parking space, and even a third in the case of perpendicular parking. The styling of the vehicle, inspired by a jet helmet, combines the contrast of black and white to convey a sense of safety, robustness and lightness. The FT-Me offers accessible mobility for people with an A licence, including 14-year-olds in some markets.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Toyota’s commitment to sustainability is evident in the design of the FT-Me. The vehicle uses recycled materials, aiming for a 90 per cent reduction in the carbon footprint for production and development compared to current urban vehicles. The FT-Me’s efficient propulsion system consumes three times less energy per kilometre than a high-capacity battery electric car. In addition, the FT-Me features state-of-the-art technology with a solar panel roof that can recharge the main battery, adding 20 to 30 kilometres of range per day in urban settings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":69174,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31,28],"tags":[428,2902],"class_list":["post-69192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-concept-en","category-news-en","tag-toyota-en","tag-toyota-ft-me-en"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-02 18:10:05","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69192"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69192\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69194,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69192\/revisions\/69194"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
