The EPU, Toyota’s next-generation midsize pickup truck concept, features a robust monocoque frame, ensuring both durability and a sleek, modern look as a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV).

Measuring slightly over 5 meters in length with a double cab design, the EPU’s monocoque structure allows for a versatile cargo space that can accommodate a wide range of applications.

EPU falls in between the shorter and longer bed options of the outgoing Tacoma and significantly surpasses the Maverick in length.

In terms of design, the exterior maintains a sleek and functional appearance, giving the EPU a look that suggests it could transition to production soon.

[{"selector":"#anim-0efd676f-51da-4448-b8ec-6e86660c3bdd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-16781057-cbc2-499a-ac1c-f958ca1ff798","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -99.79693%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-56c04e5b-71b6-4d96-9d93-aa630c27675f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3b79bf3f-1155-4476-9c63-f1ce0338fc7e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3e6f36c4-aa3b-4f2d-9268-4a9379f0028c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-daaa0890-89e6-4ccc-b7e1-2427cc35b06a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.14196%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It takes a more forward-looking approach, featuring expansive display screens, a minimalist dashboard, and a distinct yoke-style steering wheel.
