Toyota TNGA Engines & Transmissions – Video

Toyota announces that it has developed a new continuously variable transmission (CVT), 6-speed manual transmission, 2.0-liter engine, 2.0-liter hybrid system, and 4WD systems based on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA), a development framework aimed at making ever-better cars. The new technologies offer both superb driving performance and high environmental performance.

The new continuously variable transmission features a launch gear, a world first, to significantly improve transmission efficiency at low speeds when compared to existing CVTs. It realizes both direct and smooth driving response to accelerator application, as well as superior fuel efficiency.

With the new structure which adopts launch gears, significant improvement of transmission efficiency and a 15% increase in ratio spread are realized.

 

 

Shift speed is improved by 20% due to the narrow belt angle and miniaturization of the pulley; improvement of shift control contributes to the realization of direct response driving.

Top-grade* manual transmission that is lightweight and compact with implementation of a dedicated reverse gear synchronizer.

Manual transmission operation supported by electronic control, relieving driver burden.

The new engine realizes equal or greater power performance while realizing best-in-class fuel economy accomplished through the 2.5-liter Dynamic Force Engine and with Direct Shift-CVT.

Dynamic Force Engine 2.0-liter developed as a core engine of Toyota.

The new 2.0-liter system implements technologies that allow for a smaller, lighter, and more energy efficient structure. A 2.5-liter system was previously introduced in the redesigned Camry.
