Toyota to introduce concept hybrid pickup truck at Detroit show
The A-BAT, a four-passenger compact pickup, features lightweight carbon-fiber materials and solar panels, Toyota's U.S. sales unit in Torrance, California, said in an e-mailed statement. There are currently no plans to build and sell the truck, said Mike Michels, a company spokesman in Torrance.
Toyota, the world's largest maker of gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles, plans to show the truck after industry wide U.S. sales of large pickups fell 3 percent in the first 11 months of this year, as gasoline prices rose and a housing recession cut demand for trucks used by building contractors.
