“We’ve only just begun to scratch the surface of the Beyond Zero moniker,” said Toyota group vice-president and general manager David Christ. “With intuitive tech features never before seen in a Toyota model, the BZ Compact SUV Concept showcases another possible vision of the very near future with our battery electric vehicles.” And by “very near future,” we think he means that something remarkably close to this BZ concept will be found in Toyota dealerships within the next 18 months.
In the exterior styling department, the BZ Concept – the automaker stylizes it with a lower-case ‘B’, but not us – appears remarkably similar in silhouette to the Lexus RZ unveiled this past spring as a 2023 model.

Toyota also says it will be completely carbon-neutral by 2050. After that, I guess the goal is beyond zero.
