⺠Will remain with an engine for now
Toyota has made it official â itâs building a new city car replacement for the Aygo in Europe. The new model will use the brandâs TNGA architecture â specifically the GA-B platform used by the latest Yaris.
Given other manufacturers are slowly killing off their city cars (Fordâs Ka+ and Vauxhallâs Viva are long dead) or having to shoehorn in electric powertrains to make them emissions-compliant (like the VW Up/Seat Mii/Skoda Citigo trio), Toyotaâs heavy reliance on hybrids means its CO2 fleet average is low enough to be able to still maintain a combustion-engined city car. Toyota says choice of powertrain and accessibility for the new model are key to its success.
Toyota Motor Europe announced that Matt Harrison will become its new President and CEO, replacing Dr. Johan van Zyl, who will retire from this post as of April 1.
Van Zyl, who has been CEO of Toyota Motor Europe since April 2015, will retain his position as Chairman of Toyota South Africa Motors after that date.
Under van Zyl, Toyota Motor Europe expanded its hybrid model lineup, enhanced localization by bringing in more production and more models in markets like Russia, Poland, Turkey and France, and made additional investments in the TNGA platform in the UK and other factories.
“What I am most satisfied about is the very strong team we have here in Europe,” said Dr. Johan van Zyl. “With such great people across the Toyota European organization, with such talent and passion, there won’t be any disruption in the transformation we have embarked upon, and I have no doubt Toyota will do very well under Matt’s leadership.”
