Truck patrons in Europe have a brand new Toyota Hilux on the horizon, bringing a bit extra energy and effectivity to the favored pickup. The firm simply launched a mild-hybrid model that provides a wholesome quantity of thrust to the already brisk diesel powertrain. 

This Hilux iteration includes a 48-volt delicate hybrid system with a single motor integrated into the powertrain, including an additional 16 horsepower (12 kilowatts) and 48 pound-feet (65 Newton-meters) of torque to the combination. It’s fused with Toyota’s turbocharged 2.8-liter diesel four-cylinder engine which produces 201 hp and a stout 369 lb-ft of twist by itself. A small 48V lithium battery powers the motor, and being a mild-hybrid system, there isn’t any electric-only mode.
