Toyota Motor Thailand (TMT) has been established since October 5 2022. On Wednesday (14/12/2022), TMT celebrated its 60th year and brought several new vehicle concepts including the Hilux Revo BEV Concept.
Another concept is the Toyota IMV-0 which is a multi-purpose pickup. This is in line with Toyota’s history of presenting the Innovative International Multi-purpose Vehicles (IMV) platform in the Thai automotive industry.

Akio Toyoda, President & CEO of Toyota Motor Corporation would like to thank Toyota customers in Thailand.

Toyoda remembers when he launched the Hilux Vigo (the first IMV) and as a form of gratitude, there will be a new IMV pickup for Thailand, namely the IMV-0 Concept and Hilux Revo BEV Concept.
“These two products represent two different automotive spectrums. The first is for economic growth (IMV-0 Concept) and the other is to support carbon neutrality and a better environment,” said Toyoda.
To create carbon neutrality, Toyota believes in choosing steps to increase choices, not narrow. Therefore, Toyota is preparing hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery electric vehicles (BEV), fuel cells, and most recently ICE with hydrogen fuel.
“We are also developing engines with hydrogen as fuel. Like the GR-Yaris and GR-Corolla concepts powered by hydrogen. I believe there must be a comprehensive approach to achieve carbon neutrality,” he said.
