Toyota A-BAT Hybrid Concept Truck

The A-BAT concept targets commuters who want the ability to haul occasional cargo, but don't need a big truck, or don't use a truck often enough to settle for poor fuel economy. This thing definitely looks flexible -- it has a midgate that folds down to increase bed length from 4 feet to 8 feet, and a roof that slides forward to accommodate tall cargo. The truck's a concept, so Toyota doesn't have to share projected fuel economy details, but if a real-world version of the A-BAT goes to production you can bet it will get pretty decent mileage from a tank of gas.
