Toyota, one of the largest automotive companies in the world, recently held a press conference in Japan under the title of “Toyota Technical Workshop”. The company official announced Toyota’s new generation battery technology. Here are the details…
What will Toyota’s next-generation battery technology offer?
Speaking at the press conference, Hiroki Nakajima, Deputy General Manager and General Manager of Technology, expressed the steps that Toyota will take for automobile production in the future. With this, he announced the targets with the electric car (BEV) factory established last month.
Nakajima announced at the press conference that they have started to work on the new generation battery technology with this factory, which will only produce for electric cars. He said that they aim to revolutionize the electric car world with this technology.
The company official stated that with the new generation battery technology, they aim for a range of 1,000 km with a fully charged battery in their electric vehicles. It was also stated that this battery can be fully charged in 10 minutes.
On the other hand, it was said that vehicle performance will increase with the aerodynamic structure supported by artificial intelligence. Thanks to high-precision simulations and data analysis, greater control over the vehicle’s airflow will be achieved and aerodynamic drag will be minimized.
This will provide higher efficiency, longer range and better driving experience. The vehicle body will be produced in a new modular structure, consisting of three main components. Vehicle development cost will be reduced by using Giga dump. It is thought that this will create a downward movement in prices.
According to the information shared by Hiroki Nakajima, the work for the new generation battery will end in 2026. After that, production will begin and 3.5 million vehicles will be produced by 2030. This will accelerate the competition in the electric vehicle market.
