The e-Palette features a spacious interior and large windows that create a sense of openness. It is not just a means of transportation, but also supports a variety of mobility services with a single vehicle, such as a mobile store or service space. Inspired by customer creativity, its versatile applications offer a brand-new travel experience, while its highly refined exterior design adds a new touch of color to the urban landscape.
In the future, Toyota will introduce the e-Palette at the Toyota Arena Tokyo and its surrounding areas, as well as in Toyota Woven City, using it as a transportation service and as mobile stores for various goods. Additionally, Toyota will collaborate with dealers, municipal authorities, and autonomous driving partners in specific regions to conduct autonomous driving demonstrations, aiming to launch vehicles equipped with Level 4 autonomous driving systems into the market by the 2027 fiscal year.
1. Provide multi-purpose vehicle applications
-
By equipping various devices, the e-Palette can meet different purposes throughout the day. For example, it can serve as a shuttle in the morning and evening, and operate as a store while charging during the day.

The spacious interior allows for customization to support a wider range of applications. For example, by installing remote communication or audio equipment, it can be used as an entertainment vehicle, enabling passengers to enjoy realistic sports events or immersive sightseeing experiences during their journey.
