Carmakers like Suzuki, Honda and Mitsubishi have shown what is in store from them already. Suzuki has three concept cars lined up which include the Alto which is a mini, a hybrid of the Swift and the latest version of the SX4-FCV, which was launched in 2008. The Swift has a battery range of 12 miles and gets its power from the 660cc engine. The SX4-FCV has the 80kW GM fuel cell stack which would soon hit the production factory.

tms-2Mitsubishi planned a major release with as many as 16 cars in their coveted list. Ten out of those models are set to qualify for eco-car tax incentives at Japan. The PX-MiEV hybrid and the i-MiEV Cargo are the models worth mentioning when you talk about the concept car of the company. The latter is an extended version of the former and has a very spacious cargo and would possibly be delivered in smaller fleets.

Honda is also planning to make a mark on the show and use the platform to reveal its three brand new concepts. The highly innovative CR-Z prototype, an electric mini called the EV-N and a six seater hybrid known as the Skydeck are the ones that would bear the Honda flag at the Tokyo Motor Show.
