网易汽车8月17日报道 据goauto网站报道，丰田汽车公司已经为旗下的飞行汽车业务提出商标申请，商标名为SkyDrive，今后这一名称将应用于丰田推出的外形酷似无人机的电动车型上。值得一提的是，丰田希望SkyDrive汽车能够在2020年举行的东京奥运会上首次亮相并在奥林匹克体育场点燃圣火。
Netease reported on August 17 that Toyota Motor Corp. has filed a trademark application for its flying car business, the trademark SkyDrive, which will be used in the future on Toyota's electric vehicles that look like UAVs. It is worth mentioning that Toyota hopes SkyDrive will make its debut at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and light the flame at the Olympic Stadium.

自2014年以来，一支由丰田工程师组成的团队在航空专家的指导以及丰田公司的资助下利用业余时间进行SkyDrive汽车的研发，他们计划到2025年推出SkyDrive汽车的量产版车型。
Since 2014, a team of Toyota engineers, guided by aviation experts and funded by Toyota, has spent their spare time developing SkyDrive cars, and they plan to launch a mass-produced version of the SkyDrive by 2025.
今年5月丰田的商标代理人为SkyDrive提出全球商标申请，目前相关流程正在推进中。
Toyota's trademark agent filed a global trademark application for SkyDrive in May, and the process is under way.
与传统汽车商标申请不同的是，SkyDrive商标还可应用于一系列的航空领域，包括航空器、旋翼飞机、倾斜旋翼飞机、直升机以及相关技术。
Unlike traditional automotive trademark applications, the SkyDrive trademark can also be applied to a range of aviation fields, including aircraft, rotor aircraft, tilt rotor aircraft, helicopters and related technologies.

截至目前，上述由22位丰田工程师、设计师以及技师组成的团队（该团队被称之为Cartivator）仅生产了几款概念产品，不过团队表示有意在今年晚些时候启动无人驾驶原型车飞行测试。
So far, the team of 22 Toyota engineers, designers and technicians, known as Cartivator, has produced only a few concept products, but the team says it intends to launch pilotless prototype flight tests later this year.
如果一切顺利的话，Cartivator将会在明年开始有人驾驶飞行汽车的飞行活动，而这一活动的高潮正是该车在2020年7月飞临东京奥运会的开幕式现场，这一情景将展现在全球亿万电视和网络观众面前。
If all goes well, Cartivator will begin piloting a flying car next year, culminating in its arrival at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics in July 2020, to millions of television and Internet viewers around the world.
丰田目前是夏季和冬季奥运会的“出行赞助商”，从今年的平昌冬奥会开始，丰田同国际奥委会方面签订了为期八年的赞助合约。
Toyota is currently a "travel sponsor" for the Summer and Winter Olympics. Since this year's Winter Olympics in Pingchang, Toyota has signed an eight-year sponsorship contract with the International Olympic Committee.
下届夏季奥运会在东京举办，丰田渴望通过提供最新的出行解决方案以充分利用同国际奥委会的合作伙伴关系。
Toyota is eager to take full advantage of its partnership with the IOC by providing the latest travel solutions for the next Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
上述出行解决方案包括使用自动驾驶电动接驳车（该车被称为e-Pallette）在奥运村区域接送运动员、媒体记者和官员，此外丰田还将推出氢燃料电池和普通电池轿车、厢货车和巴士用于在不同道路上执行运输任务。
These travel solutions include the use of self-propelled electric adapters, known as e-Pallettes, to pick up athletes, media reporters and officials in the Olympic Village area, and the introduction of hydrogen fuel cells and ordinary battery cars, vans and buses to carry out transportation tasks on different roads.
根据Cartivator团队网站所展示的内容，两座版的SkyDrive原型车长3.6米、宽1.7米、高1.1米。
The two-seater SkyDrive prototypes are 3.6 meters long, 1.7 meters wide and 1.1 meters high, according to the Cartivator team website.
整车重量达到400公斤（外界推测其中已包含电池重量），其所搭载的电动引擎为4个垂直起降推进器提供动力。SkyDrive原型车的目标巡航时速达到每小时60公里，最大时速可达到每小时100公里。
The vehicle weighs up to 400 kilograms (which is presumed to contain battery weight), and its electric engine powers four vertical takeoff and landing thrusters. The SkyDrive prototype has a cruise speed of 60 kilometers per hour and a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
按照规划，该车的巡航高度为50米，这一高度或将保持车辆处于空管区域以下。Cartivator方面并未公布SkyDrive原型车的飞行距离。根据SkyDrive量产版车型的上市时间表，2025年该车将开始少量销售，到2030年针对发达国家的量产版SkyDrive车型将上市。
According to the plan, the cruise altitude of the vehicle is 50 meters, which may keep the vehicle below the ATC area. Cartivator did not announce the flight distance of the SkyDrive prototype. According to SkyDrive's launch schedule, the model will start selling in small quantities in 2025 and will be available in developed countries by 2030.
按照计划，2040年针对发展中国家的SkyDrive汽车将投入量产，届时该车的成本也已经有所下降。Cartivator团队在自己的网站上表示，由于可以提供“无基础设施形式的交通出行方案”，SkyDrive这样一款飞行汽车将在发展中国家大有一番作为。
SkyDrive cars for developing countries are scheduled to go into mass production by 2040, and the cost of the cars will have fallen by then. The Cartivator team said on its Web site that SkyDrive, a flying car, would make a big difference in developing countries because it could provide "infrastructural-free travel solutions".
Cartivator团队表示，他们在研发领域所遭遇的挑战包括，面对不同气象条件，车辆能够在噪音控制的都市区域保持绝对安全。
Cartivator's team says the challenges they face in research and development include the ability to maintain absolute safety in noise-controlled urban areas in the face of different weather conditions.
团队成员表示：“我们的首要目标是打造一辆飞行汽车并在2020年东京奥运会开幕式上用它点燃圣火。”
"Our primary goal is to build a flying car and use it to light the flame at the opening ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics," the team members said.
截至目前SkyDrive汽车的研发工作都在丰田市提供的一所旧学校里进行。其他零部件的研发工作则在位于东京赤坂由TechShop提供的一座车间中完成。
Up to now, the research and development work of SkyDrive has been carried out in an old school provided by TOYOTA. The research and development of other components is completed in a workshop provided by TechShop in Tokyo.
2020年奥运会是东京所举办的第二次夏季奥运会，首次是1964年的东京奥运会。
The 2020 Olympic Games are the second Summer Olympic Games held in Tokyo, the first of which was the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games.
