Toyota recently unveiled the Hyryder hybrid SUV ahead of its launch in August. The Hyryder’s eDrive powertrain is manufacturer at the newly-set up electrified component manufacturing facility in Bidadi, Karnataka. The new eDrive plant is Toyota’s fourth manufacturing plant in the world.

When we spoke to Toyota officials, they revealed that the eDrive powertrain can accept larger batteries if needed. Hence, the eDrive platform could be utilised in the near future for stronger hybrid powertrains and even full-electric vehicles. Toyota also revealed that they will manufacture the eDrive system here in India and export it to different global markets, including Japan, in the near future.
