Heyy everyone,

I think that you know that in 2006 Isuzu and Toyota agreed on producing Diesel engines that they were going to be fitted on Toyota models in 2011/2012, with Isuzu taking the leadership in producing these engines. But this week I heard that the agreement was stopped due to the world economy... is that true? and if yes, is there any chance of isuzu's engine on toyota in the future? Thanks a lot...

Best regards

stopped just like the newer isuzu diesels in gm fullsize trucks. But i wish i could get get one like the older base small trucks with a diesel.

Never heard the issue it was stopped.But then,i am excited for this project of the two top car companies.Diesel engines has a lot of advantage.
*They burn less fuel than a petrol engine performing the same work due to the engine's high efficiency.
*They have no high-tension electrical ignition system to attend to,resulting in high reliability and easy adaptation to damp environments.The absence of coils,spark plug wires, = also eliminates a source of radio frequency emissions which can interfere with navigation and communication equipment and the like which is especially important in marine and aircraft applications.
*They can deliver much more of their rated power on a continuous basis than a petrol engine.
