Japanese Manufacturer Surprises The Market Announcing A Toyota Mini Hilux That Will Arrive In 2024. Model Promises To Shake Rivals Costs Less Than R$ 50 Thousand.

Toyota, recognized for its iconic Hilux pickup in the international market, is expanding its lineup with a smaller utility model. Although there is already talk about a new pickup based on the Corolla Cross, the big current news is the IMV0 project. This project features a mini Hilux with a design that recalls the classic Bandeirante, standing out for its versatility and adaptability for various uses.

Toyota has revealed the features of its new model in Indonesia, named Ranga. Still in the conceptual stage, this compact version of the Hilux is versatile, able to be adapted for various purposes, such as a food truck, cargo platform, or even a mobile charging station for electric vehicles. The IMV0 concept was developed to be a simple vehicle but with great utility for its owners.

According to the Carmag website, the mini Hilux is expected to arrive in South Africa in 2024, where it will be known as Stallion, reviving the name of a smaller pickup that was popular in the region in the 1980s.

According to data from the manufacturer itself, the final version of the IMV0 is expected to be delivered only in 2025 and may be sold in some Asian countries for 10 thousand dollars, equivalent to R$ 48,635 at the current exchange rate, excluding some safety items such as airbags and ABS brakes, which are not mandatory by law in some markets but are required in Brazil.

Speaking of Brazil, the model may be sold with diesel engine, if it has the capacity to transport more than one ton in the cargo bed, which is very likely.

Its sale in Brazil would also depend on regional production, as import taxes may significantly increase the product’s price. The solution might be the Argentine factory in Zárate, which is preparing to assemble the Hiace minivan in CKD mode, where the vehicle parts arrive in completely disassembled kits.

Toyota Is Producing A Hydrogen-Powered Hilux

In addition to this Toyota mini Hilux, the automaker developed its first prototype of the Hilux pickup with hydrogen fuel cell in its production line in England. This is a project supported by funding from the UK government and in collaboration with consortium partners. The company aims to assemble 10 hydrogen-powered Hilux by the end of the year. The powertrain of the hydrogen Hilux uses components from the Toyota Mirai.

The Japanese automaker estimates that the model will have a range of 600 km between hydrogen refuels. For comparison, the Hilux in the Australian market, equipped with a 2.8-liter turbo diesel engine, can travel about 1,150 km between refuels.

Toyota Is Producing A Hydrogen-Powered Hilux

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

Goodbye hand-painted walls: autonomous AI robot paints, sands, and finishes high ceilings without marking, without BIM, without Wi-Fi, and covers over 92,000 square meters in Europe.

Metallic bolted chalet is assembled like a giant Lego in just two days, using numbered pieces, factory cuts, hard bolts on concrete, and a metal frame without welding, no on-site cutting, and a design intended for Airbnb and short-term rentals.

With the R$ 102 from his first salary at a car wash, a teenager from Maranhão bought food for his mother and siblings, and the gesture went viral so much that he ended up receiving a bicycle and a job at an aeronautical aesthetics company.

Helicopters were mobilized to drop tons of hay on farms overtaken by snow in the USA to save 2,500 trapped cattle, while calves were being born in the cold and pastures disappeared under the blizzard.

End of blind excavation: artificial intelligence detects pipes, cables, rocks, and voids before construction begins and promises to avoid million-dollar losses hidden underground.
