However, they will still be cash poor and that's where the eco-friendly Toyota Link comes in. The Link is an affordable customised, mass transit vehicle for students with high social networking demands. With little-to-no disposable income, students will be able to pick up a Link via various inter-connected transport Hubs.

Once on board, the Link seamlessly links on to a transportation social network, allowing connections with other drivers to share the commute, trade music, or compare diaries. Made with Toyota's newly patented electro-fibre technology, the designers see different in-car applications.

Drivers will be able to download applications like the ‘Link Skinz’ to digitally transform the car's shape into a personalised exterior design. In place of traditional wheels, the Link drives on spheres made of an electro-conductive material. This converts friction into energy and recharges the on-board batteries.
