The Toyota Land Cruiser is the vehicle that works in almost every remote corner of the Earth. Supplied/Stuff This is the Lunar Cruiser. The vehicle has been given the nickname ‘Lunar Cruiser’ to represent the quality, durability, and reliability expected of the lunar rover, and the ethos that Toyota has long held to for the Land Cruiser, which was for people to "come back alive." That’s especially true for the lunar rover, given it will be traversing the harsh environment of the moon's surface. “Manned, pressurised rovers will be an important element supporting human lunar exploration, which we envision will take place in the 2030s,’’ said JAXA Vice President Koichi Wakata.
