Japanese companies Tonox and Flex gave new life to an old Land Cruiser from the '80s, restoring the bodywork and trading the combustion engine for an electric motor
Toyota has yet to present a zero-emission version of the Land Cruiser, but independent companies have already done EV conversions based on older generations of the popular SUV. A great example is the pictured Land Cruiser 60 Series from the '80s which was meticulously restored and converted to electric power by two Japanese companies.
What is even more important than the impressive restoration work is the fact that the old combustion engine was removed from the vehicle, with a new electric motor taking its place under the bonnet, together with the vehicle control unit. The battery pack was mounted in a special casing under the cargo area, while additional batteries could be mounted in other places inside the vehicle, further expanding the driving range potential of the EV.
