The new Land Cruiser has to stay on the road until 2030, and to do that, Toyota's engineers are looking into the costs and benefits of electric, PHEV, and hydrogen powertrains for the rugged off-roader car auto cars
reports that to do that, the automaker is looking at plug-in hybrid, hydrogen, and all-electric drivetrains for the model.The SUV’s engineers have the flexibility not to commit to one solution yet because the Land Cruiser is based on the TNGA-F platform, which was designed to accommodate new energy drivetrains, as well as internal combustion engines.
However, the platform will still have to be tweaked for a new powertrain and just because it can accommodate them, doesn’t mean there aren’t compromises to be made for each option, according to Keita Moritsu, the Land Cruiser’s chief engineer.option. “So we need to think about how to approach under the multi-pathway.”
While the electric option has the benefit of generating zero local emissions, battery technology means that it srange might suffer in hot or cold climes. Since the Land Cruiser is intended to act as a lifeline for even the most remote locations, that might not be ideal. Although a plug-in hybrid might solve some of those range concerns, it still has an engine, which means that it generates local emissions, and could contribute to Toyota’s reputation as beingA hydrogen fuel cell system would be very good for long range driving, but would require a lot of bulky equipment that would eat into its passenger volume. In addition, the lack of refueling options is a challenge, too.
Moritsu said that the automaker hasn’t made a final decision yet, but the company is closely examining the costs and benefits of each option to see which one it should go for.
