Toyota e-Palette: The Toyota e-Palette is a purpose-built vehicle, or PBV. Powered by a powerful battery, the Toyota e-Shuttle offers a range of up to 250 kilometers on a single charge.

The automobile industry is witnessing a series of new innovations . Toyota has launched an electric shuttle called the e- Palette, priced at 29 million yen (approximately Rs 1.74 crore). Currently  , this shuttle features Level 2 automated driving . However, Toyota is developing a more advanced system that would allow it to operate completely driverless. 

The Toyota Palette is a fully battery-electric vehicle ( BEV) specifically designed for smart city transport, shuttle services, and multi-functional mobility uses. The vehicle is part of Toyota's Mobility as a Service ( MaaS ) vision, which will also include automated driving technology in the coming years.

How long does it last on a single charge?

The Toyota e-Palette is a purpose-built vehicle, or PBV . The Toyota e-Shuttle features a powerful battery , allowing it to travel up to 250 kilometers on a single charge. The vehicle rides smoothly and has a top speed of approximately 80 km /h, making it ideal for crowded areas and small towns. It can comfortably accommodate up to 17 people at a time. 

Toyota has developed this vehicle using cutting-edge technology, enabling it to drive autonomously. While it currently requires a driver, it could become fully automatic in the future . The vehicle costs around ₹1.7 crore (approximately $17 million). It is currently available in Japan and may soon be introduced to other countries.

This Toyota electric car  uses a lithium-ion battery . This is the same technology found in smartphones , laptops , and other electric vehicles. Its battery capacity is approximately 72.8 kWh . This battery can store a lot of energy , allowing the vehicle to travel long distances .  The e- Shuttle can travel approximately 250 kilometers on  a single full charge.
