The company presented the vehicle at its North American research headquarters alongside automated-driving, software-defined vehicle, AI, robotics, powertrain and battery work.

Toyota also showed a 300-plus-horsepower hybrid side-by-side concept and a foldable electric two-wheeler. The KEI-01 is certified for the low-speed vehicle category, so it is aimed at constrained local and commercial use rather than ordinary highway driving.
