Toyota may be selling more and more hybrids, but it also sells a huge number of diesel-powered models. The logical next step, arguably, is to introduce a diesel hybrid.
Auto Industriya reports Toyota is planning to do just that, with its first diesel-hybrid powertrain to be used in the HiLux-based Fortuner.
It’s reportedly part of the GD family of engines, which includes the 2.4-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder found in the HiLux and its 2.8-litre sibling in both the HiLux and Fortuner.
A launch date is reportedly set for the second quarter of 2022 in Indonesia, where it’ll be produced by the company’s Indonesian joint-venture Toyota Astra Motor.
