Toyota considering production version of A-BAT

Toyota is studying the possibility for a small truck that will fit underneath the already small pickup Tacoma. In an interview with TheCarConnection.com, Don Esmond, Toyota’s Senior Vice President, confirmed that the company is evaluating whether there is room for a smaller truck in its lineup
“We are looking at it,” he said. Esmond also said that the ‘A-BAT’ which made its debut at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show, could serve as the basis for the new smaller truck.
“It”s a pure concept vehicle,” said Esmond. However, Toyota will be studying the reaction to the concept throughout this year’s auto show season.
The Toyota FJ Cruiser also started as a pure concept SUV, but with the favorable reactions at auto shows, Toyota decided to put into production.
