And just by selling AT gearbox to other car manufacturers = huge profit.

Major gearbox manufacturers like Aisin & ZF, had thousands of patent registered.

China car manufacturers if wanna R&D their own AT gearbox, is at least 15-20 years behind.

Toyota- Mostly hybrid ICE or plus can electric charge or combine with hydrogen fuel.
Not really like Tesla or BYD kind of BEVs..

Consumers don't care about being environmental friendly.

Probably will prevail in Sarawak where they have green hydrogen production using hydro

Production is one thing, storage and transportation cost a lot more. Problem is who is going to develop all the hydrogen infrastructure for the whole sarawak. A large scale of hydrogen need a lot more tank for storage.

Mining rare earth is not environment friendly. Please stop using rare earth....

To me, Toyota is like a kid shouting for attention at an abandoned corner. After a while, the kid will crawl out to join the other boys because he has no one to play with.

They are no.1 car maker in the world in terms of volume sold. Not a kid but a world leader that others will listen to

see you in Toyota 2030

lemme guess, the 'other boys' are BYD, GWM, and Geely?

Toyota does not go into EV all out because Toyota does not believe that the EV is the future but more on hybrid for now. I think Toyota is working together with BMW developing the hydrogen engine.

People just does not realize that most electrical power is generated from coal and the pollution from coal is much deadlier than previously thought. Study shows that the the pollution from coal to power the EV is more than the pollution generated by car powered by petrol. Furthermore, soon car batteries probably will become another pollution problem.

One of my friend said, the only way that EV can be really green, apart of battery pollution is when the method of generate electricity is green as well...

Green method include hydro, solar and nuclear.

But those green method really not yet as established as coal...

I think ultimately Toyota ops for Hydrogen technology as their green technology is due to they can use back most of existing gasoline ICE engine parts for Hydrogen ICE Cars which in turn maintain the current Eco-system that they had built over the years while still cater to the green part...

Hydrogen also got its future, but same thing need to established the charging network 1st la...

The main thing is that the hydrogen can be filled like petrol but battery cannot be charge as instant

You trust the combustion of industrial grade coal generator which is closely maintained for peak profit efficiency or some 30 years old ICE under maintained 80% of the time?

Do you know the production, storage and transportation of hydrogen will always consume more energy than it can produce?

How much pollution from EV in 30 years?

they pretend like the whole supply chain of petrol they use is clean, ignoring pollution from oil & gas extraction, refining till distribution and delivery to end user

oh well

like vacuum tube maker make shit tonne of noise when semiconductor is a thing

in the end, PhD in vacuum tube can only be garbage collector

Same league as Nikon, Kodak, Olympia No.1 but stuck in an abandoned corner.

ICE engine probably not efficient as electrical engine but coal power plant also convert around 1/3 of energy from coal to electricity. another 6% loss during transmission before reaching your house
