Toyota Kayoibako: Electric Microvan Promises to Revolutionize Transport and Adventure on Wheels (X @joelcollins)
The new microvan from Toyota, named Kayoibako, is an innovative electric vehicle that stands out for its versatility and ability to be used in various situations, such as travel, cargo transport, and even as a mobile pop-up shop.
Inspired by Japanese shipping containers, the Kayoibako was unveiled at the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo and celebrates its first anniversary with a design that reflects the future of accessible transport.
Equipped for adventure, the model features a camper layout with a roof rack, rear ladder, and space to transport water and fuel. Toyota, in partnership with D&Department, has developed an interior that allows for the unfolding of a double bed, illuminated by vintage lanterns for a touch of comfort. The two-part rear door facilitates the transition from the interior space to the exterior, making it ideal for outdoor breakfast.
In addition to its function as a recreational vehicle, the Kayoibako can be adapted as a mobile shop, with shelves and coat racks integrated into the sliding doors.
The manufacturer also offers an accessible version for people with disabilities, along with a software system that allows for updates and integration for various purposes, such as inventory control, all managed via an intuitive display on the dashboard.
