India is a growing, key automotive market for Toyoda Gosei, where demand for products for safer mobility is rising. The company’s exhibit will therefore center on safety systems, such as its various airbags and other products that protect vehicle occupants and pedestrians. The exhibit will include a concept model for compact battery EVs to show the company’s technologies toward realizing new mobility around 2030.
Main exhibits
1. Technology for safer mobility
Front center airbag
Installed beside the driver’s seat, these airbags prevent front vehicle occupants from slipping through the seatbelt and hitting the door or other objects in side collisions, and lessen the impact when front occupants hit each other.
Pop-up Hood Actuator
The vehicle hood is lifted instantaneously during collisions with pedestrians, absorbing impacts to the head and other body parts by creating space between the hood and rigid components beneath it.
Luminous Millimeter Wave Radar Compatible Emblem
These emblems combine metallic coating technology and original optical design technology to provide both luminance and transparency to millimeter wave radar.
2. Technology toward realizing new mobility
Flesby BEV concept
A spacious cockpit is realized with the combination of airbags, seatbelts and a steering wheel that integrates the accelerator, brakes and other operating functions. The exterior features a sensing function that detects the vehicle surroundings and other technologies for autonomous driving.

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — Ethiopia’s Orthodox Christians are celebrating Christmas with prayers for peace in the Horn of Africa nation that has faced persistent conflict in recent years.
Ethiopians follow the Julian calendar, which runs 13 days later than the Gregorian calendar, used by Catholic and Protestant churches. They traditionally celebrate by slaughtering animals and joining family members to break the fast after midnight.
The patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, Abune Mathias, in his televised Christmas Eve message called for reconciliation and peace in a nation where conflict has been often fueled by ethnic strife. Different parts of Ethiopia recently have also faced natural calamities, including mudslides. Earthquakes last week in the remote regions of Afar, Amhara and Oromia have displaced thousands.
Despite the signing of a peace agreement to end the armed conflict in the northern region of Tigray in 2022, recurring conflicts in Amhara, Oromia and elsewhere have caused widespread suffering and forced 9 million children to drop out of school, according to UNICEF.
Almaz Zewdie, who was among thousands of Orthodox Christians attending ceremonies in Addis Ababa’s Medhanyalem Church, said she was praying for peace. She was draped in an all-white traditional attire to mark the end of a 43-day fasting period and the birth of Jesus Christ.
“I lost friends and my livelihood,” said Zewdie, a merchant from the tourist town of Gondar, speaking of the toll of the conflict in Amhara, where government troops have been fighting members of a local militia.
Isaias Seyoum, a priest in Addis Ababa’s Selassie Church, said the celebration of Christmas is more than just feasting and merrymaking. It is also a time to share meals with needy people and help those impacted by conflict, including many sheltering in Addis Ababa, he said.
