Toyota eCom

Automobiles

The Toyota eCom is a two-passenger electric vehicle that Toyota first demonstrated at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show as a small shared car for everybody, opened with a special electronic card instead of a key and meant to promote carpooling. It was shown in three colour schemes at car shows and demonstrations. Thirty eComs were made and stationed for rental in Toyota City as part of the Toyota Crayon project, and twenty more were rented to the Tama New Town community transportation project near Tokyo. Toyota Motor Sales USA also joined the University of California, Irvine and other partners to share eComs in a research park next to the university. The eCom was pulled from the lineup not long afterwards for financial reasons.
