Toyota Motor Corp's solid-state battery technology under development could be a "game changer" for pure electric vehicles, but that does not mean the automaker is moving away from hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles, a company executive said.
"We believe our solid-state battery technology can be a game changer with the potential to dramatically improve driving range," Executive Vice President Didier Leroy said at the Tokyo Motor Show, which opened to media on Wednesday.
He noted that Toyota was introducing two new fuel-cell vehicles at the motor show, including the six-seater "Fine-Comfort Ride" concept car, with a cruising range of about 1,000 km (620 miles).
Global automakers are scrambling to develop more battery-electric vehicles as China and other countries tighten emissions regulations to cut down on car pollution.
