Toyota supports Tokyo 2020 with special mobility vehicle

Toyota is supporting the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games with a new product, the accessible people mover (APM).

Designed specifically for the games, the APM is a mobility vehicle which aims to provide all people the freedom to move.

The APM offers a ‘last one mile’ solution that transports as many people as possible to events and venues, including athletes and staff, and all visitor types, with accessibility needs for the elderly, pregnant women, people with impairments and families with small children, among others.

The APM will be a low-speed, short-distance battery electric vehicle (BEV) suitable for the transport of visitors and staff within large events and venue grounds.

The BEV has a total seating of six people – five passengers and one driver. It will support the transportation of visitors and staff within Games facilities.

During the Games, Toyota will employ around 200 of the APMs.

The APM has a maximum range of 100km and speed of 19km/h.
