TMC Launches Redesigned 'Dyna' and 'Toyoace'

Two-ton Diesel Hybrid and Diesel Versions Added

 

Toyota City, Japan, June 15, 2011―Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) has redesigned the two-ton "Dyna" and "Toyoace" light-duty, cab-over trucks. The vehicles are scheduled for launch in Japan on July 2.

Dyna Wide cab, long deck, flatbed two-ton diesel hybrid (shown with options)

The Dyna and Toyoace have new and advanced features―including an available diesel-hybrid system―facilitating improved fuel efficiency and cleaner emissions as well as highly reliable safety performance.  Ease-of-use and handling have also been refreshed with particular attention paid to interior comfort and operability for the support of day-to-day transport operations.

All new models comply with the 2010 emissions standards (post new long-term regulations) under the MLIT approval system for low-emission vehicles.  In addition, all models―excluding those equipped with the NO4C-UQ engine―meet the 2015 heavy-vehicle fuel efficiency standards under the Law Concerning Rational Use of Energy.  As a result, the new Dyna and Toyoace qualify for Japanese government tax reductions for environment-friendly vehicles.  The hybrid models are exempt from the automobile-acquisition tax and the automobile-weight tax, while diesel models―excluding those equipped with the NO4C-UQ engine―are eligible for a 75% reduction of the automobile acquisition tax and the automobile weight tax

The vehicles will be supplied by Hino Motors, Ltd. on an OEM basis.

Pursuit of Environmental Performance

Five new diesel engines were developed―including one exclusively for use with hybrid models―that feature a redesigned high-pressure common-rail fuel injection system.  The high-performance catalyst diesel particulate-active-reduction system (DPR) was also redesigned to raise fuel efficiency and emit cleaner emissions.  Furthermore, an idling-stop function and an eco-drive system come standard on all automated manual transmission (AMT) and automatic transmission (AT) models to promote fuel-efficient driving.

Hybrid models use an exclusive Atkinson cycle engine that features excellent fuel-combustion efficiency, and have a five-speed AMT that promotes easy driving by allowing operation with just the accelerator and brake pedals.  Also, through the introduction of a clutch between the engine and the motor, which also serves as a generator, this newly developed hybrid system allows acceleration from a stop using just the electric motor.  Fuel efficiency (heavy-vehicle-mode fuel efficiency outlined by Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport) is substantially improved: 12.2 km/L for two-ton vehicles (a 1.0 km/L increase from earlier models), and 11.6 km/L for three-ton vehicles (a 1.4 km/L increase from earlier models).

The diesel lineup features a new, six-speed AT diesel engine with outstanding operability and cruising performance and available six-speed and five-speed manual transmissions.



Occupant-conscious Interior and Exterior Designs

The wide cab features expanded door openings, larger steps, and increased vehicle occupant space, thus enhancing ease of ingress an egress and creating a more comfortable interior.  Furthermore, innovations to the knee and bottom portions of the shape of the instrument panel have produced more legroom for the center seat.

The instrument panel has been expanded, with the center cluster layout arranged for greater operability and with large instrument dials enhancing visibility.  A conveniently positioned large, open tray extending from the front passenger to the center seat improves utility.

In addition to design modifications to create a powerful and striking front view for all models in the series, the wide-cab version features outstanding aerodynamics produced by a strongly tapered cabin and optimally shaped bumper corners.  The hybrid models feature an exclusive stripe on the grill and door and have a Toyota emblem in Hybrid Synergy Blue.



Pursuit of Safety

The front pillars have been narrowed―without any reduction in strength―to create a broad and high-visibility field of view.  Two side mirrors expand the lateral field of view toward the rear, increasing visibility of pedestrians.

Available on a light-duty truck* for the first time, vehicle stability control (VSC), a safety system that ensures vehicle stability to control skidding on slippery surfaces and curves, is available as an option.

The design changes made to the diesel models have also been reflected on the gasoline and LPG models.  Also, the TECS (Toyota Excellent Conversion Series) lineup of manufacturer-modified vehicles now features more hybrid models.
