Toyota, which has always had a radical statement about electric vehicles and internal combustion ones, also has words for diesel vehicles.
One of the pioneers of the automobile industry Toyota, is constantly on the agenda with the fact that it has instilled trust in billions of people and its contributions to the industry. In addition to these, the company also has radical statements. Toyota, one of the first brands to bring hybrid technology to the general user, is, as we know, currently focused on electric vehicles. Doesn’t look very welcoming.
In addition, other companies are completely ignoring gasoline vehicles. embrace electric vehicles with their eyes closed, is another situation that Toyota finds strange when looking at the sector. While the companies in question proceeded by ignoring diesel vehicles, Toyota claimed that these vehicles would remain viable for many years.
“Diesel is a reliable fuel source.”
Toyota Australia’s sales and marketing manager, Sean Hanley, said in an interview with Australia-based Drive magazine that diesel is reliable, especially in large vehicles such as trucks and SUVs He stated that they saw the benefits of this. He also stated that diesel fuel – contrary to popular belief – is not dead and will not die anytime soon.
On the other hand, according to Hanley, diesel technology is increasingly to emission restrictions It needs to evolve to adapt. Toyota is currently trying to keep internal combustion engines alive, and to do this, it is testing hydrogen fuel with its GR Yaris and GR Corolla models. Company, synthetic fuel and hydrogen He believes that they will be strong alternatives when the time comes.
Undoubtedly, as regulations tighten, Toyota’s attitude will find itself will make it difficult. In the European market, many manufacturers have abandoned diesel technology in small-scale vehicles. That’s why diesel’s market share is quite low. In 2023, we saw electric vehicles surpass diesel sales in Europe for the first time. It was the same for hybrids.
In this case, we will be following the decisions the company will make. Do you think this attitude of Toyota is justified?
