    Toyota to sell hybrid powertrain technology to rivals

    The hybrid powertrain technology from Toyota has been one of the most well-guarded secret for the Japanese automaker. The Prius hybrid has been one of the most successful product in its segment. In efforts to further boost its sales and assist other automakers in developing low-emission vehicles, Toyota will reveal the powertrain technology details to its rivals. Automakers can soon buy complete powertrain modules including the engines, transmissions and other drive components from Toyota. 

    As cars are becoming more dependent on computerized components, Toyota wants to introduce common size fit option for all powertrains. This will also help in designing similar parts across all model ranges. Additionally, the advanced technology will help automakers to develop more long-range electric vehicles. Currently, Toyota suppliers produce technology which is unique to their own cars. However, moving forward the company will work with suppliers to produce technology which can be offered to non-Toyota customers as well.

    Most of the powertrains feature a combination of parts which are supplied by independent parts makers. Toyota being the only one to make use of powertrains developed by its group suppliers, they can allow allow engineers at the automaker and its suppliers to collaborate in development. The company believes that suppliers selling the entire system is better than selling components which is difficult to be used in vehicles by other manufacturers. Additional details on its progress will be known in the coming days.
