This year’s Tokyo Motor Show exhibited some interesting, wild, and green concept cars. With efficiency in mind, companies unleashed these eco-friendly designs which are both innovative and rather unconventional. Here are just a few.

Volkswagen

For those of us who like to rock and roll, Volkswagen revealed their newest Beetle. They have made friends with Fender to bring an audio system to this car that is ready for the main stage. The system includes a 400W 10-channel amplifier, a subwoofer, and two sets of tweeters, one set in the front and one in the back.

Honda

This eco-friendly design is Honda’s “micro commuter” car. This tiny electric car is merely 98.4 inches long, 49.2 wide, and 56.3 tall and looks like something from a video game. To enhance its arcade feel, it’s controlled with two joysticks. While its top speed is only 37 mph and can only carry three people its tiny size is perfect for the city commuter.

Daihatsu

This design may resemble a bus; it is actually the FC Sho Case fuel cell car. Daihatsu’s revolutionary design contains no rare earth metals, which makes it less expensive to build then other fuel cells. The LCD screen on the exterior play tranquil wave patterns, but when getting into the car, passengers must step high over these to get in, making it difficult for elderly people or those with injuries.

Toyota and Yamaha

We see increasingly more scooters on the streets these days as people search for easy and fuel-efficient ways to get around town. Toyota and Yamaha partnered up to take this a step further with an electric tricycle called the EC-Miu. It has Wi-Fi capabilities and can be recharged at charging stations used by other electric vehicles.

This year’s concepts at the Tokyo Motor Show were very green focused. Each year the designs unveiled at the show seem to get more inventive. I can’t wait to see what they bring us next year.
