Toyota unveils VNT-powered Fortuner

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) improves its ever reliable Fortuner and Hilux models in September.  With new engine specifications and interior entertainment improvements, both the Fortuner and Hilux prove to be a more road-worthy vehicle.
Toyota aims to strengthen its SUV and Pick-up segment through its globally known International Innovative Multipurpose Vehicle (IMV) line-up.
The improved Fortuner and Hilux will feature the advanced Variable Nozzle Turbocharger (VNT) Technology with intercooler which aims to improve fuel efficiency and produce additional engine power by 40% and increased torque by 30%.
A variable nozzle vane has been incorporated on the circumference of the turbine to adjust the flow speed and pressure of the exhaust with the intention to improve fuel economy.
Accordingly, the balance between the exhaust back pressure and boost pressure based on the engine demand has been optimized to induce responsive power. A Direct Current (DC) motor is used to operate the variable nozzle vane to help achieve outstanding engine performance.
The VNT Technology is available for the 4X4 V and 4X2 G Diesel (Manual and Automatic) Fortuner. In the other hand, the Hilux also offers the VNT for its 4X4 G, 4X2 G and 4×2 E variants.
