Another Concept Truck from Toyota
The Toyota A-BAT is a concept truck manufactured by Toyota which was revealed last December 27, 2007 and has officially debuted at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It was developed by the TMS Advanced Product Strategy group and Calty, Toyota's North American-based, research and design center located in Newport Beach, California.
This truck concept rides on a unibody platform for car-like handling. Its unique aerodynamic exterior was crafted by Calty Project Chief Designer Ian Cartabiano and Creative Designer Matt Sperling.
It has 19-inch wheels which creates a tough stance. It has a bold grille that showcases Toyota's reverse trapezoid and T-face theme in a new way," explained Cartabiano. I can say that although the A-BAT is rugged and has a spirited exterior. The A-BAT features a four-foot bed, but has more functional flexibility than other pickup trucks in the segment.
It has other cool features such as; rear seatback can fold down, allowing the cargo bed to expand; also a pull-out storage bins in the side walls and a first-aid kit in the tailgate; it also has a solar panel that charges a portable battery pack. It is a good thing that Toyota has a good idea of recharging battery packs while parked for a long period.
All is well with this vehicle. I am glad that Toyota actually attempted to design something that wasn't boring. They certainly get a point for that. This would be absolutely the thing for a weekend. It is very versatile and unique. I am so amazed with this. I actually want one for myself.
