Abstract Mainstream of vehicles is about to undergo a great change from current gasoline-powered vehicles

to more environmentally-friendly hybrid vehicles (HV), electric vehicles (EV), and fuel cell vehicles (FCV). Eyeing this market trend, Toyoda Gosei started an EV development project in June 2009 to discover Toyoda Gosei products for the future. The project theme is to make a “car (EV) with satisfying running performance using minimum motive force.”

Why did Toyoda Gosei, a manufacturer of polymer automobile parts, take up this challenge of making an EV? The key is Toyoda Gosei’s fundamental technology. Lighter-weight, and energy-saving parts are critical to improving the fuel efficiency (electricity costs) of vehicles. Toyoda Gosei’s expertise is in technology related to the development and mass production of rubber, plastic, and other resin parts. Metal materials are used in vehicle bodies, chassis and many other main components, and vehicle weight could be reduced dramatically by making these components with plastics. Toyoda Gosei also produces many LED products, which are characterized by low energy consumption and long life. These advantages can be put to use as technical strengths for environmental protection. I report, in order, the status of this series of efforts “to make a compete vehicle” in three stages: first stage (production), second stage (verifying driving performance), and third stage (realization; developing plastic outer panels, a new field). Market trends are also reported.
