Toyota electric vehicles add simulated manual gearbox to reshape traditional driving experience
Toyota electric vehicles add simulated manual gearbox to reshape traditional driving experience
Toyota plans to add simulated manual transmissions to future electric vehicles to provide a unique driving experience. According to Takeo Kato, president of Toyota's electric vehicle factory division, the plan will start in 2026. Toyota aims to blend the traditional feel of manual driving with the environmental advantages of electric vehicles to provide more choices for consumers who prefer manual vehicles.
The manual transmission simulator will have multiple functions to simulate the driving experience of traditional fuel vehicles. Drivers can feel the real driving pleasure through manual shifting and engine sound effects. According to a Toyota spokesperson, although the system can provide the function of stalling due to improper clutch operation, this function may be eliminated in the final production model.
Toyota has previously set ambitious goals to sell 1.5 million electric vehicles by 2026 and another 2 million by 2030. This move reflects Toyota's important contribution in the field of electric vehicles and its efforts to promote the development of sustainable mobility and environmentally friendly vehicles.
The editor understands that similar simulated manual transmission technology is planned to be introduced in electric vehicles from automakers such as Dodge and Hyundai, not just Toyota. In addition to this, Swedish company Koenigsegg is also developing a nine-speed, seven-clutch transmission that simulates a six-speed gearbox.
The efforts of these automakers will further promote the development and popularization of electric vehicles, meet consumer demand for a manual driving experience, and provide more environmentally friendly travel options. Electric vehicle technology continues to develop and advance, and it is expected that future drivers will enjoy more surprises and fun.

Artificial intelligence helps Toyota designers create more engineering and aesthetic car looks
Jun 21, 2023 pm 08:28 PM
According to news on June 21, Toyota recently launched a tool based on generative artificial intelligence (AIGC), aiming to speed up the process of employees designing car shapes. According to Toyota Research Institute (TRI), this tool will be used in the early stages of car design to help designers obtain design inspiration and make selections and improvements faster by converting prompt text into images. As far as the editor understands, this tool does not completely replace human designers, but generates image drafts based on the designer's needs. For example, designers only need to enter keywords such as "smooth lines" or "SUV shape" and engineering requirements such as "low wind resistance", and the tool can generate corresponding sample drawings based on these requirements to assist the designer in the design.

Gearbox failure triggers recall, Toyota urgently processes 280,000 vehicles in Canada
Feb 24, 2024 pm 03:19 PM
Toyota Motor Corporation recently launched a large-scale recall program in Canada, involving a total of approximately 280,000 vehicles. The recall is mainly due to the discovery of potential problems with the transmission that may affect the safety performance of the vehicle. Specifically, affected models include the 2023-2024 Toyota Tundra, Sequoia and Lexus LX600. Toyota detailed the nature of the problem in a statement: "When the vehicle is moved into neutral, certain parts of the transmission may not immediately disengage, causing engine power to still be transmitted to the wheels in neutral." In this case, if the driver fails to apply the brakes on a flat road, the vehicle may unintentionally drive forward at low speed, thereby increasing the risk of a collision.
