Toyota may abandon the e-TNGA architecture, push a new platform and narrow the gap with Tesla.

According to Reuters, Toyota has been exploring ways to improve its competitiveness in the pure electric vehicle market in the next decade, some of which are accelerating the performance improvement technology of pure electric vehicles and more integrated heating and cooling systems. These changes may delay the pure electric vehicle project originally planned to be launched within three years, and include abandoning the existing e-TNGA architecture and developing a new dedicated pure electric vehicle platform.

At present, the e-TNGA architecture design adopts pure electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles to be produced together on the assembly line. This compromise limits the innovation ability of automakers, which Toyota engineers believe is the key to Tesla's success.

It is understood that Toyota is expected to outline the adjustment measures of its pure electric vehicle strategy to major suppliers in early 2023. At the same time, Toyota is trying to narrow the price and performance gap with industry leaders Tesla and BYD.
