Innovation :

The quest for innovation is the foundation for Toyota's new technology concepts. Unconventional ideas need room for creativity and the technologies of the future need testing in real-life conditions. This is why Toyota develops concept cars such as p.o.d or FXS. Take a look at Toyota's most recent concept cars and get a first glimpse of the vehicles which may, one day, satisfy the needs of tomorrow's drivers.

Engines :

Engine technology is one of Toyota's greatest assets. Toyota's award-winning engine range reflects the high design and quality standards set by its engineers. Toyota engines are developed for performance and responsiveness with a big focus on reducing emissions and saving fuel. Today Toyota brings these benefits to customers with advanced variable valve technology (VVT-i) petrol engines, common-rail turbo diesels (D-4D), and with the unique Toyota Hybrid System (THS).

Safety:

Safety is a top priority for Toyota: Advanced steering, braking and traction control technologies help keep your Toyota on the road and out of trouble. In addition, every new Toyota model is carefully designed to maximise safety, using computer simulations and real-life crash tests. The body and chassis are built to absorb impact and provide maximum occupant protection, whilst SRS airbags in place in case of a collision. Hopefully you'll never see our safety features in action, but you’ll feel the confidence every time you sit behind the wheel.

In India, the Fortuner is certainly headed for a rollercoaster ride. This is not to mistaken for the car having low popularity. In fact, ever since it was introduced in the Indian auto market, bookings have been pouring in. So much so, that Toyota had to put a break on further bookings, so the company could first deliver to their existing customer list. The backlog stood at 6,000 in the country.
Obviously this was going to hurt the company, so only recently they restarted bookings with a pledge to clear the backlog. However, that happy run has ended as Toyota has stalled bookings within a month of having starting them again.
This Kirloskar Group JV kept bookings open for this SUV for the month of July this year after having suspended bookings in Jan. It appears the SUV has found fans in the additional 3,004 bookings made through July. As such, the company is yet again dealing with a backlog o over 6,000 vehicles.
Toyota hopes to clear their Fortuner backlog by the end of the year, and consequently resume bookings by January next year. Toyota had earlier expressed a desire to clear all backlogs by end o year. Production has been increased to over a 1000 vehicles each month. Initially this figure hovered at around 500 vehicles.
