丰田研发“超低成本”汽车

　　Toyota， the world's second largest carmaker by sales， is working on a radically different approach to car design， development and manufacturing in an attempt to come up with an ultra-low-cost car， according to its president.

　　“The focus is on low-cost technology，” said Katsuaki Watanabe， in an interview with the Financial Times. “Everything from design to production methods will be radically changed and we are thinking of a really ultra-low-cost way of designing， using ultra-low-cost materials， even developing new materials if necessary.”

　　渡边捷昭在接受采访时表示：“这次涉及的重点是低成本技术。从设计到生产方法，每个方面都会有根本性的变化。我们正在思考一种真正的超低成本设计方法，使用超低成本材料，必要时甚至还会开发新材料。”
