Toyota defends multi-energy strategy and develops new internal combustion engines
Toyota is promoting a multi-energy approach: the automaker is testing a new 2.0-liter gasoline engine in racing in Japan, preparing a new generation of internal combustion and hybrid engines, and considering selling these powertrains to other automakers. Its chairman Akio Toyoda calls for defending powertrain diversity rather than all-electric. National versions vary: in Japan, Toyota adds a hybrid Land Cruiser 300 and experiments with powertrains; in the United States, it positions the hybrid Crown Signia against premium SUVs; in Indonesia, the Innova Zenix is updated; in Italy, Toyota Europe announces a new hybrid.
