Toyota Land Cruiser for the first time will adopt an electrified powertrain. Mild hybrid system will further increase the capabilities of this fully off-road car delivering smoother, quieter and more confident performance, without compromising on usability.💪

The Hybrid 48V system combines Land Cruiser’s existing 2.8-litre engine and eight-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission with an electric motor-generator, lithium-ion hybrid battery and a DC-DC power converter. The new system is more compact that the Toyota full hybrid system and it can be more easily fitted to existing powertrains without requiring significant redesigns or re-engineering. ⚡

The hybrid Land Cruiser didn’t lose any ability to operate in extreme conditions and rough terrain. The motor-generator has been positioned high on the engine block so the vehicle can still wade through water up to 700 mm deep. Drivers now will be able to recover energy with the engine braking which can be used to tackle hard terrain or, in traffic with a stop-start feature that will increase driving comfort. 🚙

In Europe all Land Cruisers will adopt the hybrid system. National markets will be opening order books shortly with the first models expected to be with customers from the end of this year. 📅

Nordic markets are leading shift to EV and Toyota is performing well 🔝

In January EV mix was:

🔌 96% in Norway up from 92% last year

🔌64% in Denmark up from 35% last year

🔌29% in Sweden up from 28% last year

🔌29% in Finland up from 24% last year

The electrification of the passenger car fleet in Norway and Denmark continues at a good pace!

In Denmark EV share has increase from 35% last year! Both countries prove that strong incentives and a deliberate, consistent strategy and policies are absolutely crucial if we are to succeed in electrifying the car fleet. A greener car fleet is an important part of the green shift, and the share of electric cars in the Nordic countries clearly shows that political support and incentives are needed to support this development.

New car sales in Norway in January ended with 9,343 new passenger cars, just over 82% more than last year. In Denmark, which has a fairly similar number of new cars as Norway, the increase was 23%, while in Sweden the increase was 14%. In Finland, new car sales fell by 13% compared to January 2024.

It is great to see that both in Norway and Denmark Toyota BZ4X was best selling car! That's amazing achievement! FORZA TOYOTA

Kei cars in Japan are super cool. We should bring them to Europe!

In contrast, Toyota BZ4X seems to be doing great in Norway. #bev #ev #auto

Tesla sales numbers for February were just released for Norway, Tesla's most important test market for EVs.

For January, down 30% compared to last year. We didn't know if it was a fluke or a trend.

Sales for feb, compared to last year: DOWN 70%
Time for investors to exit?

@thebfgvez BZ4X doing well in Norway 👀
