Hino *hybride* 240pk diesel in new Toyota fullsize pickup (USA)
[posted and mailed]
A kewl way to burn rice....) From the DTLC-list: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx I just got off the phone with my secret info source at Toyota and got a little insider information about Toyota's plans for the new huge versions of their Full size pickup. For those who don't know, its being built in Texas and will be configured bigger than the full size crowd. Crew cabs, 3/4 and one ton capacity etc. Toyota is saying that if you're going to build a pickup you better do it in Texas where some large percentage of the world market for pickup trucks is. Anyway all of that is common knowledge but the nagging question that has been unanswered so far is what will they power these trucks with? The hot rumour is that they will be using the 240HP diesel/electric hybrid that HINO is using in Japan! With the success of their tiny hybrid car Toyota is looking to please both the red neck and the eco crowds. The goal is to have the highest fuel economy of any full size with similar performance. Looking forward to seeing it. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More browsing: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...+hybrid+diesel -- Bye, Willem-Jan Markerink The desire to understand is sometimes far less intelligent than the inability to understand > [note: 'a-one' & 'en-el'!] |

Through Hino Australia I see the J08C engine, with various output, but none exactly 180kW (which would equal 240hp (factor 1.3333)). Nonetheless, a torque-figure of 608/706/745Nm (447/520/548ft-lbs (factor 1.36)) ain't bad....) (with 158/173/191kW, or 210/231/255hp) http://www.hino.com.au/tk/tk_sub_rs.htm http://www.hino.com.au/tk/tk_sub_pe.htm J08C being 8 liter?....) (not much data there, but either J05C or J08C is an inline-6) But 6- and 9-speed manuals sounds cool too....) http://www.hino.com.au/tk/tk_sub_10_.htm Ah yes, inline 6, 8 liter....gotta have one!....))) http://www.hino.com.au/tk/tk_sub_10_s__.pdf Willem (wondering whether that can be shoehorned into an FJ55?)

Oh, you are *so* cool now. *Fawning adoration*. >> And what's the big idea, >> crossposting between different language newsgroups? > >The careful reader might have noticed that the source was English....for >translation services you may contact me at , price pro >word 10 euro (discount for more than 10 words on request). No kidding. It's still crossposting, which is moderately bad all by itself barring overriding reasons, and doing it between different language groups is just the icing on the cake. Jasper |
