    Toyota's IMV 0 platform features a modular design. This makes it possible to attach various bodies to the flatbed section for different applications, making it easier to convert the platform into a coffee bar, food truck, mountain rescue ambulance, or safari camper.

    The IMV 0 platform may also lead to the production of the Fortuner's more affordable version. The global portfolio expansion of Toyota includes the introduction of the Crown Sport SUV to the Century lineup and a high-riding sedan to the Crown range.
