Diesel Married to Hybrid, BMW and Toyota Join Forces!
The Detroit News
Toyota Motor Corp. and Germany's BMW plan to cooperate on clean- engine technologies, according to Japanese newspaper reports. Toyota would obtain diesel engines from BMW, while providing BMW with hybrid technologies in an exchange that would capitalize on the companies' respective technological strengths. Such a deal also would help Toyota reduce the substantial impact of unfavorable exchange rates on its earnings. The companies declined to comment. Financial analysts said the cooperation between the two carmakers made sense. "We see this as positive for Toyota in that it could lower costs by boosting production of hybrid systems, enhance research and development efficiency ... and boost European sales by expanding Toyota's diesel-engine lineup," said Kohei Takahashi, Tokyo-based analyst at J.P. Morgan. SWAG: A Prius-worthy small BMW diesel?
