東京車展拚節能 環保車亮眼
中時電子報╱黃菁菁/東京21日電 2009-10-22
第41屆東京車展將於23日在千葉市幕張展示場開幕,21日先向媒體公開,今年共有109家以日本廠商為主的企業參展,強調「環保、節能」概念的車款明顯已是主流趨勢,豐田、日產、本田等大廠競相推出以環保為訴求、講究空間設計的新車種,頗有看頭。
全球3大車展之一的東京車展今年大幅縮水,前一屆東京車展共有26家海外車商參展,受到全球不景氣及中國汽車市場抬頭的影響,今年只有LOTUS、BMW等三海外大廠參展。
規模大縮水 海外僅三廠商參展
不過會場上展出的261輛車當中,有39輛是全球首相亮相的新車,仍然吸引不少目光。日本廠商為因應不景氣,都將展示重點放在日本的強項「環保節能技術」上,幾乎所有廠商都主打油電混合車、電動車、燃料電池車及超低燃料車等環保車。
TOYOTA在全球首度亮相的「FT-EVⅡ」是適合近距離移動的4人座迷你電動車,其最大的特色是沒有方向盤、加油、剎車踏板,使駕駛座空間大增,後照鏡也被車內的顯示螢幕取代,同時車頂裝了太陽能電池,充飽電的航續距離為90公里,最高時速可達一百公里以上。
39輛全球首發表 一輪車有創意
日產汽車的單排兩人座迷你電動車「Land Glider」也是首度曝光,車體寬只有1.1公尺,長為3.1公尺,非常適合在道路狹窄、停車困難的都市駕駛,開起來的感覺介於四輪和兩輪車之間,轉彎時車體還會像騎機車般地傾斜,可享受異類的駕車樂趣。
TOYOTA和富士重工合作開發的油電混合車「PRIUS PLUG-IN HYBRID Concept」及鈴木汽車首度公開的油電混合車「SWIFT PLUG-IN HYRID」,都是用家中電源插座即可充電,且充電時間大幅縮短,適合在都市內短距離移動。
本田汽車展出的一輪車也讓人眼睛為之一亮,坐上去只要開啟電源,車體便會自動保持垂直平衡,還可隨身體傾斜而自由移動,最方便的是重量不超過十公斤,可折疊起來提著走。
Tokyo Motor Show:

This year's Tokyo Motor Show is a lonesome affair for the Japanese, with foreign carmakers largely no-shows for the first time in decades as they cut costs amid the downturn and focus on fast-growing markets like China. The Japanese have always had a major presence at the Tokyo show, now being staged for the 41st time. But never before have this nation's top five automakers and their affiliates so dominated the biannual event
