it only needs the rear converting into a cab

only needs a 2 cylinder LPG engine driving a good generator to charge batteries and run the big leccy motor, and an auto box...

Power comes from an innovative hybrid drivetrain made up of a small electric motor and a four-cylinder engine that runs on liquid petroleum gas (LPG). Full technical details won’t be announced until Toyota engineers fine-tune the drivetrain in order to make it more durable and smoother to drive in stop-and-go traffic.
