Toyota has released images and high-level details of a modular EV van concept called Kayoibako, prior to the chunky, city-sized vehicle taking its place on the Japanese giantās stand at this yearās Japan Mobility Show (October 19 – November 5, 2023).
Positioned as a mobility ābase unitā, the Kayoibako takes its name from configurable shipping containers designed to transport parts and products between production facilities, āsized to eliminate wasteā and configurable via āchangeable insertsā.

Toyota says the boxy, Lego-like unit can be fitted with product display shelves for retailing in local communities, equipped with additional seats for duty as a shuttle bus or plugged into smart distribution systems for ālast mileā logistics.
Plus it can be customised for private use with multi-row seating as well as access for wheelchairs.
Toyota is also set to show an electric two-door sports car, the FT-Se, an electric SUV, the FT-3e, and even an electric version of the segment-leading HiAce at the Japan Mobility Show.
