Next Toyota HiLux To Get Australian-Developed Suspension And Handling

NEW HILUX WILL BOAST AUSTRALIAN ENGINEERING

Toyota Australia’s Technical Design Centre, part of the Japanese company’s Asia Pacific development facilities, is working on the global suspension and handling systems of the next Toyota HiLux.

Having been given “the base product”, Toyota Australia’s engineering team led by engineer Paul Diamandis, is making it work the way it should.

“We’re working on how it goes, turns and stops,” Mr Diamandis told TMR. He said that the Australian market and the challenging conditions here puts unique demands on a vehicle.

Australia is now a key part of Toyota’s global R&D activities.
