JUST CRUISING
Perhaps you’re not aware of how
badly the environment’s affected when that beautiful colour coat is applied to your car, due to the volume of volatile organic compounds emitted from paint plants. This became a real environmental problem, but Toyota addressed it by developing waterborne paints. Recently the company developed
another first in the auto industry: a solar reflective paint that keeps vehicles cooler and can even lower fuel consumption. Called “Thermo- Tect Lime Green”, this paint – with embedded reflective titanium oxide particles and no traces of carbon black – can only be a winner in our hot climate.
TOYOTA HAS DEVELOPED A SOLAR REFLECTIVE PAINT THAT KEEPS VEHICLES COOLER AND FUEL CONSUMPTION LOWER.
HYDROGEN TECH OK, hydrogen as an energy source
sounds very futuristic and sci-fi, but actually Toyota has already introduced the world to this new era
in
transportation.The car giant believes electrification is the key to the future of the automobile and while hybrid- electric is good, it isn’t the end game. Efficient hydrogen power is. The poster child for this
technology? The Mirai – the world’s first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle. The Mirai (which means “future”
in Japanese) runs on electricity created on demand by hydrogen fuel and oxygen, with water vapour as the only emission produced. Yup, good, clean water.
And the future’s here, because the futuristic-looking sedan, named the 2016 World Green Car, is already available in Japan, Europe and the USA. If infrastructural challenges and
logistical problems can be overcome, in future all vehicles will certainly use this technology.
CONNECTIVITY We spend more and more time in
our cars, but we still want to stay connected – which often means indulging in unsafe practices like phoning or texting while driving. Not cool. Toyota’s addressing this need
with fully integrated infotainment systems which make it possible to stay connected totally hands-free. Its latest system, called Entune, has integrated navigation, with real-time traffic updates and an app suite, plus streamlined address input via voice recognition. With the premium system, you can
even plan your night out or set up that perfect playlist in your car. With no need to hold your phone in your hand, you can then concentrate on your driving. That’s cool!
