Toyota's hybrid technology has been continuously developed and innovated for 20 years, with more than 300 technical patents and more than 45 models (including Lexus). In particular, its flagship product, the brand-new eighth generation Camry, is the first model under the framework of TNGA. It adopts a brand-new 2.5L dual-injection engine under the framework of TNGA, with ultra-high compression ratio, more complete combustion, stronger power and lower fuel consumption. It is also the first time in the world to adopt high-speed combustion, laser cladding intake valve seat and other technologies, and it is the most advanced naturally aspirated engine in the world.
Moreover, in terms of patents, Toyota basically registered everything that can be registered. If it is a counterattack, it may be difficult, especially the core patent of this planetary gear mechanism. If you want to be a powerful hybrid (THS), there is no way to bypass this threshold. Toyota can only be bypassed from weak hybrid (plug-in hybrid) and medium hybrid (similar to Honda hybrid), and a large number of patents cover technical barriers.
Therefore, it is difficult to make a strong hybrid route, let alone counterattack Toyota. It can only be said that we will go to other fields to compete with THS, and then wait for the patent to expire, and everyone will not be happier than others. The concept of hybrid is too broad. Is Toyota's hybrid worthy of the name? Twin engines? Other hybrid technologies The motor+engine is relatively independent, so it can be called hybrid, but it can't be called hybrid? Twin engines? . Is that why you said that? There are two kinds of hybrids in the world, Toyota hybrid and other hybrids? .
Toyota? Twin engines? It is also the earliest research and development, the largest mass production, the largest technology accumulation and the richest experience accumulation. From this perspective, any car company has no capital to clamor for Toyota. Even Honda's IMMD has a good effect on the other hand, which is more similar to extended-range hybrid, but it has only emerged in recent years. No one can guarantee that it will have advantages over THS in market feedback, battery shortcomings and later stability. You know, you are developing, and Toyota is not standing still.
Finally, to be realistic, can you say Toyota's? Twin engines? It makes every car company in the world desperate, and the result of blocking the road is either to pay patent fees or to make a detour, although Toyota keeps saying that technology is enjoyment. Therefore, if you take the road of Toyota, you can't attack Toyota. Unless Toyota goes bankrupt, you can only compete with Toyota in another way, can't you? Fight back? .
