Toyota, as the worldwide mobility
partner of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International
Paralympic Committee (IPC), has unveiled two inclusive mobility products to
transport people at the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024. Accessible
People Movers (APMs) and wheelchair e-pullers will be used during the Games to
ensure that athletes and their families, staff, volunteers, and spectators can
all move around freely, sustainably and safely.
Accessible People Mover (APM)
Toyota believes in ‘Mobility for
All’. The APM is the latest illustration of this vision. The vehicle is
designed to offer last-mile service and transport people with accessibility
needs.
During the Games, Toyota will deploy
around 250 APMs to support the transportation of athletes, visitors and staff
around various facilities, including places where events or competitions are
held and other official sites such as the athletes village. The uses for APM
include:
Transporting athletes, organisers,
volunteers, and spectators with physical disabilities or with walking
difficulties, including wheelchair users
Moving small goods across the Games
Emergency relief.
The APM is a battery electric
vehicle. It has been designed in Belgium by Toyota Motor Europe and will be
produced in Portugal by Toyota Caetano. Vehicle production is set to begin in
February 2024.
