Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) has unveiled the e-Palette electric vehicle (EV), designed with a focus on autonomous driving and multi-use applications. The vehicle was introduced at the TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO on September 15, 2025 [1]. The e-Palette features a spacious interior and large windows, creating a sense of openness, and is designed to support various mobility services with a single vehicle, such as mobile stores or service spaces.The e-Palette is equipped with a low floor and wide sliding doors, allowing for quick boarding and exit, and includes height-adjustment functions and an electric ramp to facilitate wheelchair access. It is also designed to support automated driving, conforming to Level 2 specifications and aiming to introduce Level 4 capabilities by fiscal year 2027 [1]. The vehicle's advanced equipment includes a Steer-by-Wire System, digital signage, and a cabin monitoring system for enhanced safety.
The e-Palette is capable of both standard and rapid charging, with a maximum cruising range of approximately 250 km and a maximum vehicle speed of 80 km/h [1]. Toyota plans to use the e-Palette for transportation services and as a mobile store in Toyota Woven City and surrounding areas, demonstrating its potential for transforming urban mobility.
The e-Palette's spacious interior allows for customization, enabling it to serve different purposes throughout the day, such as acting as a shuttle bus in the morning and evening and a store during the day while charging. This versatility, along with its accessibility-conscious design and support for automated driving, positions the e-Palette as a significant innovation in the mobility sector.
