1.Main Exhibits
1）MaaS share-ride space concept "MX221"
This vehicle interior was designed for ridesharing mobility with Level 4 automated driving in mind. It is possible to remove and replace seat modules and components to meet diverse user needs. Allowing space conversion and updating functions in a short   amount of time, we offer a wide range of possible interior grades.

The premier "MX Prime" interior grade presents a premium-quality travel experience
thanks to a system that guides passengers to a comfortable nap within a brief time, in addition to various personal audio and refreshment functions.
The "MX Access" wheelchair interior grade allows wheelchairs to be secured inside the vehicle without the assistance of a caregiver, providing a safer and more comfortable travel experience for wheelchair users.

2)VODY2.0 concept model: Seat surface transforms freely to suit occupant
 (World premier)
The VODY2.0's seat forms the optimal shape to match the user's body shape, posture, and movements during travel. Based on the concept of human-centeredness, the seat control technology allows the seat surface's shape and hardness to be freely changed. It will make the user feel at one with the seat and improve riding comfort.

Other first-time exhibits include a "thermal comfort seat" that makes direct contact with the occupant's body to control temperatures, in addition to an FC-assisted mobility vehicle that uses a small, highly-portable low-pressure hydrogen tank that anyone can easily carry.
