'Toyota To Boost EV Development Efforts In China' - Inside EVs
Portfolio Pulse from Happy Mohamed
Toyota plans to increase its electric vehicle (EV) development efforts in China to compete with domestic players in the world's largest car market. The company will develop its own batteries, utilize big metal castings similar to Tesla, and focus on making its future cars as aerodynamic as possible. Toyota's suppliers Denso and Aisin will also increase their work in the powertrain department. The company will also develop 'smart cockpits' in China, with engineers from joint ventures with FAW Group, Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC), and BYD working together at Toyota's largest research and development facility in China.
