Toyota Biomobile Mecha Concept: 2007 LA Design

As you’d expect from any Toyota concept fictional or not, the Biomobile Mecha is an ultra eco-friendly vehicle that extracts pollutants in the air utilizing it as an energy source. Since there’s no limits to imagination, Toyota’s design team also supports that nanotechnology enables the structure of the vehicle to expand and contract horizontally and vertically to “serve as a compact commuter, an aerodynamic performance vehicle and temporary dwelling”. -Continued after the jump

Press Release: Toyota Biomobile Mecha

It is the year 2057 and due to limited ground space, vertical architectures have caused the transportation industry to create new pathways that also explore vertical space.

An innovative solution is discovered in biomimicry. Inspired by life found in nature, the vehicle is powered by pollution with dynamic driving instincts and structural adaptations to accommodate the user’s need for space.

This vehicle’s unique capability to extract pollutants in the air and utilize it as an energy source restores balance to our atmosphere. It is able to autonomously adapt to its driving environment by utilizing its four nano-laser wheels. Nanotechnology also enables the structure of the vehicle to expand and contract horizontally and vertically to serve as a compact commuter, an aerodynamic performance vehicle and temporary dwelling.
