Summary:

Toyota has developed a new 2.4L L4 turbo (2.4L-T) engine with 8AT and 1-motor hybrid electric powertrains for midsize pickup trucks. The aim of these powertrains is to fulfill both strict fuel economy and emission regulations toward "Carbon Neutrality", while exceeding customer expectations. The new 2.4L L4 turbocharged gasoline engine complies with severe Tier3 Bin30/LEVIII SULEV30 emission regulations for body-on-frame midsize pickup trucks improving both thermal efficiency and maximum torque. This engine is matched with a newly developed 8-speed automatic transmission with wide range and close step gear ratios and extended lock-up range to fulfill three trade-off performances: powerful driving, NVH and fuel economy. In addition, a 1-motor hybrid electric version is developed with a motor generator and disconnect clutch between the engine and transmission. This hybrid architecture provides EV driving, which enhances the NVH and fuel economy, and provides additional acceleration with motor assist. Moreover, this hybrid electric system can meet customers' "overlanding" electric power usage expectations. These performances will help exceed customer expectations for various pickup truck uses such as on-road, off-road and towing situations
