1.0-liter VVT-i petrol engine, developed using the concept of unit Toyota optimal: maximum power, minimum fuel consumption and emissions
The petrol engine Toyota Aygo will benefit from the new Toyota Toyota optimal concept of unity, a number of technologies introduced in the 2008 Paris Salon to strengthen the management of Toyota in sustainable mobility.
"Since its founding more than seventy years ago, the Toyota Motor Company has conducted its business based on the guiding principle of contributing to the development of a prosperous society through the manufacture of automobiles. But now Toyota should try to combine the power of the people and technology to help create a society that maintains a balance between business and preservation of the environment, "Katsuaki Watanabe, president of Toyota Motor Corporation
Toyota optimal unit
Demonstrating their environmental awareness, there have been significant improvements in the sustainability of Toyota plants in Europe. Since 2001, 44% less energy is required to build a Toyota in Europe. Moreover, the CO2 reductions will be achieved through a series of new hybrid models from Toyota and the best new raft of petrol, diesel and transmission technologies. Toyota optimal unit is intended to:
Increase fuel efficiency, reducing CO2 emissions
Do not compromise on driving pleasure
Reduce harmful emissions
Be standard in new model launches
Unlike many other manufacturers, Toyota has chosen to innovate and develop new technologies, rather than just the reduction of existing technology or detuning.
Built on the company's legendary "Kaizen" tradition of optimization, Toyota engineers have improved combustion efficiency, lower the engine / transmission of weight and reduce friction to produce new engines that provide more power but at the same time, are more efficient and economical.
In short, the best unit of Toyota cars are great fun technologies to drive, but at the same time, they are kind to the planet.
Awarded 1.0 liters VVT-i petrol engine with a reduction in emissions and fuel consumption
When equipped with the 3-cylinder 1.0-liter VVT-i petrol engine, the Toyota Aygo combined fuel consumption is one of the lowest in the segment for gasoline engines, at 4.5 liters per 100 kilometers. In early 2006, the Toyota Aygo is also available with a 1.4 liter diesel engine supplied by PSA Peugeot Citroën. This is one of the lighter engine in the market today and offers specific core values of power and torque.
Toyota engineers have worked continuously to improve performance in the 1.0-liter 3-cylinder engine. When the engine for the first time outside of the line in 2005, the frugal 1.0 liters engine delivers 109g CO2/km. In early 2008, Toyota's engineers had already reduced to 108g, by early 2009 and fell further after the following 106g engineering improvements:
A newly developed cutting system saves fuel during gear changes
The use of low-viscosity oil for engines less resistance
Advanced engineering
With a full aluminum construction, the weight of the new 1.0-liter gasoline engine only 67kg, making it one of the internal combustion engines in the light car market today.
This unit is not only the more powerful 1.0 liter in the A-segment (68DIN hp/50kW), but also is a leader in the specific kind of torque (93Nm at 3600rpm). To ensure better management in urban conditions (where the constant acceleration and deceleration takes place), the development team wanted the unit to provide high levels of low to mid torque. This led to a complete optimization of the intake system, establishing a proper length and a collector for smaller diameter intake ports.
The number of cylinders (3) also leads to a higher availability of torque at low to mid-range, because there are less "metal" to move at low speeds.
Winner of "Engine of the Year" in 2007 and 2008
For the second consecutive year, Toyota's compact and lightweight 1.0 liters VVT-i engine won the overall honors in the Sub-1.0-liter category. The three-cylinder petrol, presented at Toyota Aygo, Yaris and iQ, was hailed by the judges of softness, without revolutions and a smart design.
Engine of the Year awards are decided by a distinguished group of 65 motor journalists from 32 countries worldwide. The 2008 winners were announced at a ceremony at Engine Expo 2008 in Stuttgart on May 7.
Compact and lightweight
With a tight turning radius (4.73m), the Toyota Aygo 2009 makes it easy to maneuver around the narrow streets of the city and take advantage of the tight parking spaces where other cars fit.
MacPherson Strut front suspension is derived from the Toyota Yaris. In the rear, Toyota's engineers specified a torsion beam, but the adoption of an inverted V profile - a solution that provides significant advantages in weight and torsional stiffness.
Aygos all come standard with power steering (EPS), which is also sensitive to the speed. In addition, the EPS is up 3% more fuel than a conventional hydraulic system.
Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) improvements
True to Toyota's Kaizen philosophy of continuous optimization, Aygo engineers have worked on reducing NVH values in the car.
Improvements include sound-absorbing felt for AC-pillar and pillar trim interior. The package tray has also been improved with the use of thicker material and dense. Finally, the leaves of asphalt have been introduced under the carpet in the Toyota Aygo to reduce noise even further.
To reduce noise outside the engine is a pulley Damped added recently to reduce the vibrations of the engine bay.
Toyota Aygo excellent safety
The car features Toyota's own minimum system intrusion cabin (MICS), a security structure that effectively reduces the risk of serious injury during impact. This robust security structure is complemented with front, side and curtain (front and rear) airbags. Front airbags are standard on all models and side curtain airbags and available from the entry level.
Cost of ownership
The Toyota Aygo gets excellent ratings of insurance in Germany (15) and the UK (1E), reflecting its very reasonable cost of repair.
Toyota Aygo 1.0 VVT-i also offers lower cumulative maintenance time after 100,000 kilometers: 4.2 hours a notable decrease. This means that the billing service will be kinder in comparison with their rivals.
For more quiet, offers each new Toyota Aygo with a 3-year (or 100,000 km - whichever comes first) pan-European security, something still unknown to any other competitor. The Toyota Aygo is also covered by a 12-year anti-rust warranty.
Excellent quality Toyota Czech plant
According to independent surveys, Toyota Aygo customers are among the most satisfied in the A-segment. This is due largely to the careful attention to building the car Toyota pays first.
In a joint operation with the Peugeot and Citroen, Toyota Aygo a manufacturing plant in Kolin, 60 kilometers east of the Czech Republic capital of Prague.
The plant is jointly owned by PSA Peugeot Citroën and Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC), and three small cars produced on a common platform: the Citroën C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo.
Established in March 2002, the plant is the result of a successful cooperation that allowed two manufacturers to combine their knowledge of product design, styling, production and supplier relationships, while learning each other's cultures business, technologies and processes.
This led to an exchange of specific know-how: PSA Peugeot Citroën knowledge of small cars in Europe and his experience in buying and TMC's ability in developing, manufacturing and production processes.
The aim of the production capacity of the plant from 340,000 vehicles per year, more or less equally divided between the Toyota Aygo, the Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107.
Designed and built in Europe, the Toyota Aygo is 100% - with some elements of the package design on the hood, around the badge, and triangular window quarter, underscoring its pedigree Toyota.
Overall, the Toyota Aygo conveys a sporty design and fun, and comfort and high quality finishing.
