Toyota FT-Bh hybrid concept car for Geneva

We'll have to wait until March 6 to really see what this one looks like but in the meantime, Toyota has drip-fed us a few details, as well as a couple of quizzical pics, of the FT-Bh concept car.

Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show, FT-Bh stands for "Future Toyota B-segment hybrid" and the whole concept is all about being cleaner and greener, not just with fuel economy and CO2 emissions but also with eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes.

Emissions will be around 50% lower than the current average for the supermini segment and it has been created with five main factors: low weight, aerodynamic performance (a 30% improvement, according to Toyota), powertrain efficiency, thermal energy management and electricity saving.

At less than 800kg, it weighs less than a three-door Aygo. It is powered by a downsized full hybrid powertrain, a bid to keep the weight down, which can be a problem for hybrids with two forms of power to lug around instead of one.

Until Geneva, we'll just have to play guessing games with these few images that have been released.
