Scoop! Toyota starts building strong hybrid engines in India

Toyota has started building the 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre hybrid engines in limited quantities.

Toyota is said to have started producing strong hybrid engines in India. These engines are likely to power the brand's upcoming mid-size SUV (Hyundai Creta rival) and the next-gen Innova. 

We have been told that Toyota has started building the 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre hybrid engines in limited quantities. It is said that the company is building around a couple of engines per week. 

Some of the newly built hybrid engines are being used for initial testing and optimization. Production is expected to be ramped up once this phase is over.

Toyota is also said to be building a 2.0-litre petrol engine. However, which models from Toyota's portfolio will use it is anyone's guess.
