موتور جدید تویوتا مصرف بنزین را بیش از ۱۵ درصد کم می‌کند

Toyota's European division has shared details regarding a new architecture capable of hosting fully electric, traditional hybrid, and plug-in hybrid vehicles. The core of the Japanese engineering innovation focuses on a smaller hybrid system and a completely new four-cylinder internal combustion engine.

The redesigned hybrid system utilizes more compact electric motors, inverters, and power control units, reducing fuel consumption by more than 15 percent. The more compact dimensions of the technical components allow designers to lower the hood height and improve body aerodynamics without negatively altering cabin or trunk space.

The engineering heartbeat of the new generation is a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which will replace the current 1.5-liter and 1.8-liter units in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged versions. Alongside the fuel-efficient engine, Toyota engineers are developing a 2.0-liter turbocharged version known as the G20E, generating nearly 400 horsepower for sports cars. The Japanese manufacturer has previously tested a prototype of this high-powered engine on the mid-engine Toyota GR Yaris and the racing Toyota GR86.

The automotive giant's strategic planning shows that, unlike competitors focused solely on battery-powered products, long-term investment in gasoline engines will continue. Toyota intends to supply the new powertrain hardware to other companies and estimates that it will generate 1.5 billion euros (equivalent to 1.7 billion dollars) annually by 2032 from selling this technology to external competitors.
