Toyota A-BAT Hybrid Pickup Concept – 2008 Detroit Auto Show

Meet Toyota's latest Hybrid concept the A-BAT pickup ute. Toyota plans to introduce a hybrid variant for the majority of its models, and the A-BAT is another sign of the Japanese giant's commitment.

Of course it wouldn’t be a concept if it didn’t do something cool, and it does. The A-BAT has built in translucent solar panels in the top surface of the instrument panel, allowing it to convert sunlight into energy for the hybrid engine.
