GOING BEYOND

GOING BEYOND INNOVATIVE MOBILITY

BUILDING THE CITY OF THE FUTURE WITH TOYOTA

The construction of the Woven City has begun on Mount Fuji. Since early 2021, Toyota has set out to realise its concept of a city of the future that means much more than innovative mobility and zero emissions. With its Beyond Zero vision, Toyota wants to lay the groundwork for a society that lives in harmony with the

environment.

Going beyond zero is Toyota’s strategy. This means zero emissions are just the beginning for the company. Toyota is not just developing innovations and solutions that have no or minimal impact on the environment. Toyota also wants to improve life, our experiences, society and the planet.

MORE THAN MOBILITY

For a long time, Toyota was seen as just a car company. But Toyota is much more than that. As a company that cares about every single person’s mobility – regardless of their individual abilities – Toyota is responding to the constantly changing mobility needs in our society.

For what is already more than 20 years, Toyota has been researching solutions for sustainable coexistence. As this endeavour goes beyond innovative mobility for the company, Toyota is now building a prototype city near Tokyo: 2,000 people will live and work in the Woven City ecosystem to begin with. The city will be supplied by renewable energies and hydrogen. The plan is to use materials from regenerative sources for the construction. Wood, processed using robot-assisted technologies with low CO2 emissions, will play a crucial role. Hydrogen fuel cells will be used to generate electricity, supplemented by solar power from photovoltaic systems on the roofs – and the water produced will be collected and recycled by an integrated system. The homes will be equipped with the latest assistance systems, including sensor-based in-home robots. Self-driving, zero-emissions cars will circulate on the roads; the Toyota e-Palette will be used for delivery transport.

The city is divided into a three-level road system: Alongside routes for fast vehicles, there are others designed for lower speeds, including cyclists and pedestrians, as well as a third level, which is reserved exclusively for pedestrians and formed of avenues and parks. Indigenous vegetation and hydroponics will ensure sustainable planting. As a kind of “living lab”, the Woven City will also house numerous researchers, who will study and test innovative technologies for a completely connected smart city. This vision includes robots, smart homes and individual mobility provided by shared, self-driving, zero-emissions vehicles that are linked to an integrated system with the aid of artificial intelligence.
