#广汽丰田科技开放日#在广汽丰田首届科技开放日上, Toyota announced the progress of next-generation electrification technology, and four types of next-generation batteries, including performance lithium-ion batteries, popular lithium iron phosphate batteries, high-performance lithium-ion batteries, and all-solid-state batteries, will be launched in the market from 2026.
The fastest new generation of batteries to land is a performance lithium battery, which is expected to be launched in 2026 and has a range of more than 1,000 kilometers, from 10% to 80% Fast charging in just 20 minutes. Expected to be launched in 2026-2027, the popular lithium iron phosphate battery uses the bipolar technology used in Toyota's first HEV model nickel-metal hydride battery, using high-quality lithium iron phosphate as the core material, with a range of up to 600 kilometers and a fast charging time of less than 30 minutes from 10% to 80%. The high-performance lithium-ion battery, which is expected to be launched in 2027-2028, combines a bipolar structure with lithium-ion chemistry and a high-nickel cathode to further improve performance, with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers and fast charging times as low as 20 minutes. The most anticipated black technology is undoubtedly the all-solid-state battery, which is being fully promoted with the goal of launching in 2027-2028. The battery uses a solid-state electrolyte that allows ions to move faster, and is resistant to high pressures and less affected by temperature. Based on these characteristics, all-solid-state batteries are suitable for fast charging and discharging, and will overcome the problem of battery life degradation. Combined with aerodynamic improvements and lightweight design, models equipped with solid-state batteries will have a range of more than 1,000 kilometers and a fast charge of just 10 minutes.
Toyota plans to launch 10 new electrified models by 2026 and has set a target of 1.5 million electric vehicles per year by 2026. The next generation of electric vehicles will debut in 2026. The company aims to sell 3.5 million electrified vehicles by 2030, of which 1.7 million will be next-generation electric vehicles.
Toyota continues to promote its all-round electrification strategy, and is developing multiple routes for HEVs, PHEVs, EVs, and FCEVs. The plug-in hybrid model with fast charging will be launched in China in October this year. At the same time, Toyota is also actively working on next-generation engines that are more suitable for electrified models, and will apply them to PHEVs and HEVs. Next-generation engines achieve a more compact size and a lower center of gravity while maintaining high power and efficiency, enabling sportier vehicle designs. By reducing vehicle driving resistance, the driving force control, engine, and electric unit performance are maximized, and the range is further improved.
A new intelligent cockpit, end-to-end high-end intelligent driving will attack the first echelon of intelligence in 2026
At the scene of the Science and Technology Open Day, GAC Toyota gathered a circle of friends in science and technology, showing a comprehensive and powerful intelligent technology layout. There are not only new intelligent cockpits empowered by technology giants Huawei and Tencent, but also high-end intelligent driving technologies supported by Momenta and Pony.ai. With the continuous deepening of the local R&D system and the active integration of China's superior resources, GAC Toyota will achieve rapid progress in promoting intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving technology, and plans to achieve a comprehensive leading joint venture in 2025 to keep up with new forces; From 2026 to 2027, it will be among the first echelon of the industry.
In terms of intelligent driving, GAC Toyota and Momenta, a leading autonomous driving technology company, have jointly created the TOYOTA PILOT end-to-end high-end intelligent driving, which will be installed on the Bozhi 3X model for the first time. This high-end intelligent driving solution is based on a data-driven AI flywheel to create a safer and more reliable full-scene intelligent driving experience for users. At the hardware level, based on NVIDIA's 254TOPS computing platform, the whole vehicle is equipped with 11 ultra-high-precision cameras, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars and 1 lidar (126 lines), providing 360-degree global perception and sufficient vehicle-end computing power. At the algorithm level, the data flywheel based on Momenta can continuously improve the upper limit of system performance through OTA through massive mass production data reflow, independent learning, rapid iteration, and continuous over-the-air (OTA). This solution is equipped with Momenta's most advanced algorithm 5.0, and the end-to-end intelligent driving model is analogous to human intelligence, allowing cars to "understand" the world, think like people, and finally achieve a driving experience that is close to or even surpasses that of human veteran drivers. This intelligent driving system will provide a full-scene high-end intelligent driving experience covering parking, highways, and urban NOA, realizing that "you can drive when there is a road, avoid obstacles, and stop when you have a position".
At the same time, GAC Toyota and Pony.ai have cooperated to carry out the commercial operation of L4 driverless taxis to promote the large-scale mass production of high-level autonomous driving technology. The fully unmanned robotaxi equipped with Pony.ai's autonomous driving system integrates the world's first automotive-grade hardware and multiple safety redundancy design, and has been in continuous operation for 1 year with zero accidents, accumulating rich experience in intelligent driving. A few days ago, the joint venture company jointly funded by Toyota China, GAC Toyota and Pony.ai has been officially established, and the first phase plans to launch 1,000 units of the Bozhi series L4 Robotaxi in first-tier cities to carry out large-scale operation. In the autonomous driving track, Pony.ai is the first player to put Robotaxi into commercial operation, has leading technical strength, and has obtained L4 autonomous driving road test permits in many first-tier cities in China.
In terms of intelligent cockpits, relying on the empowerment of top technology manufacturers such as Huawei and Tencent, the company has upgraded the Chinese cabin for global cars and brought the world's best model version to Chinese users. The three flagship models of the 9th-generation Camry, the 2024 Seina and the Highlander launched this year have integrated Huawei's AI voice assistant, Hi-link car-home interconnection ecosystem, and also integrated rich Tencent ecosystem services to achieve a significant improvement in intelligent experience.
