Toyota Boshoku Future Concept Model "VODY" (Graphic: Business Wire)
The concept for this year's exhibition is "QUALITY OF TIME AND SPACE." As we undergo major changes in the mobility environment around us, this phrase expresses the value of comfort in mobility— enriched and higher-quality time and space—that Toyota Boshoku is working to create.

Toyota Boshoku is presenting an entirely new type of "mobility space" that will provide individuals in the "mobility society" of the future with greater ease and comfort.

Multi-purpose mobile space premised on completely autonomous vehicle
operation, the freely adaptable seating layouts allow this private space
