Convenience and the “Smart Mobility
Society” of the future
Urban transportation systems that incorporate
cars into communities will play a key role in creat-
ing a future “Smart Mobility Society” where low-
carbon, efficient transportation is a reality. For
example, the Toyota City Verification Project in
Japan is a prototype of a low-carbon city. In
collaboration with local governments, Toyota also
provides next-generation vehicles, such as plug-
in hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, and fuel cell
vehicles, installs charging stations with solar
panels, and conducts personal mobility experi-
ments. In addition, to achieve low carbon trans-
portation, we aim to optimize the movement of
people by building transportation systems that
encompass private and public transportation
systems, promoting environment-friendly driving
practices, and alleviating traffic jams using ITS.
In August 2014, Toyota established the Toyota Mobility Foundation to provide global assistance to NPOs
and research organizations that are helping to build a better society through mobility. The foundation will
support businesses and activities focused on enhancing mobility and that have a strong correlation to Toyota’s
business activities, with a high likelihood of enriching lives in communities and building ever-better cars that
exceed customer expectations. In emerging markets, the foundation will search for solutions to social prob-
lems by helping to close the mobility gap and promoting the development of the automotive industry on a local
basis. In advanced countries, the foundation will focus on developing next-generation mobility solutions. We
expect the foundation to provide grants amounting from ¥3 billion to ¥4.5 billion per year.
