Especially recently, there has been a kind of electric car revolution in the automobile world. Many automotive companies are investing heavily in electric vehicles. In fact, most companies are ending the production of internal combustion vehicles on a planned basis. Toyota, one of the companies keeping up with this trend, made an interesting patent application.
Toyota filed patent applications for manual transmissions
Automatic transmission vehicles are preferred by many people because they are very comfortable to use. This comfort is also preferred in the electric car world. However, a substantial segment thinks that using manual gear while driving increases the pleasure of driving and provides a more active driving in traffic.
Toyota has not forgotten like-minded customers. The company made an interesting attempt for this. Toyota has filed a patent for electric cars with manual transmissions, according to a report released Friday by Teslarati.
According to the patent, the manual transmission in an electric car will be slightly different than in an internal combustion vehicle. So much so that according to the statement, a drive will be made as easy as changing gear on a game console. Toyota’s patent application shows an engine control device that models its production to an internal combustion vehicle.
Toyota thinks that if it gets the manual transmission patent and goes into production, many users will prefer these cars. But the company has to go through various layers of government bureaucracy not only to fully develop this technology, but also to put it into production.
