Toyota， the world's second largest carmaker by sales， is working on a radically different approach to car design， development and manufacturing in an attempt to come up with an ultra-low-cost car， according to its president.
“The focus is on low-cost technology，” said Katsuaki Watanabe， in an interview with the Financial Times. “Everything from design to production methods will be radically changed and we are thinking of a really ultra-low-cost way of designing， using ultra-low-cost materials， even developing new materials if necessary.”
豐田汽車公司總裁渡邊捷昭稱，豐田正在采取一種截然不同的汽車設計、開發和制造方法，試圖推出一款超低成本的汽車。按銷售額來衡量的話，豐田汽車是全球第二大汽車制造商。
渡邊捷昭在接受采訪時表示：“這次涉及的重點是低成本技術。從設計到生產方法，每個方面都會有根本性的變化。我們正在思考一種真正的超低成本設計方法，使用超低成本材料，必要時甚至還會開發新材料。”
