Toyota develops special mobility vehicle for Tokyo 2020

Toyota, worldwide partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, is developing a mobility vehicle, the APM (Accessible People Mover), designed expressly for use at Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020.
Through the games, Toyota aims to provide all people the freedom to move, or what it calls, “Mobility for All.” The APM offers a “last one mile” solution that helps transport as many people as possible to events and venues, including athletes and staff related to the games, as well as all types of visitors with accessibility needs such as the elderly, people with impairments, pregnant women, and families with small children, among others. It is also anticipated that part of the fleet of APMs will be used to support relief activities at events/venues during summer. During the games,
Toyota will employ approximately 200 APMs. The APM will feature three-row seating. In the first row will be the driver’s seat, the second row provides seating for three, and the third row will offer seating for two, allowing total seating for six people.
Passenger seats are accessible from both sides of the vehicle, and the overall design considers varying customers’ needs, with safety bars on both sides to help passengers while entering and exiting the vehicle, and fitted with wheelchair anchor plates and ramps to enable the optimal access and transportation of wheelchair passengers.
