Commenting on the start of production of the new CR-V, HCM Senior Vice President Clement D’Souza said, “”Being the global lead plant for the new CR-V was a great challenge, but I am proud of the experienced team at HCM and the level of (development) teamwork that went into creating this great new model in North America. commented.
The new CR-V, the sixth generation model, made its world premiere in the U.S. on July 12, 2022, with body dimensions of 184.8 inches (4693 mm) long x 73.4 inches (1864 mm) wide x 66.2-66.6 inches (1681- 1691 mm) high.

Incidentally, since development of the new CR-V began in the early stages of the new Corona disaster, HCM was also involved in the creation of the development prototype. The company has been collaborating digitally with the Japanese development team, which led to the start of production this time.
Since the hood is the largest of any U.S. Honda vehicle in its category, the production and development teams worked together to increase the rigidity of the hood by increasing the thickness of the steel plates. As a result, a bold and sophisticated design was successfully mass-produced.
In addition, the use of high-performance structural adhesives was increased to enhance body rigidity. New equipment and additional training for employees were also introduced for production.
The Canadian plant is scheduled to begin production of a hybrid version of the new CR-V in October, and as a result, the production of the new CR-V in Canada is expected to account for about half of its sales.”

Why did you make the Toyota “Alphard truck”? The “monster truck” with a total length of nearly 6m looks amazing! What is the identity of the astonishing custom car that students work on .
“Why did you produce the Toyota “”Alphard Truck””? The nearly 6-meter-long “”Monster Truck”” looks amazing! What is the true nature of the astonishing custom car created by students?
Why an Alphard Truck? A luxury minivan turned into a monster truck!
The Alphard is one of Toyota’s most popular models. Recently, it has become synonymous with luxury minivans.
The Alphard has been converted into a monster truck, but what kind of vehicle is it?This is amazing! The finished version of the powerful “”Alphard Truck””! And look at the past “”LM style””!
Alphard Super Duty Truck”” to be built for Tokyo Auto Salon 2023 (Image courtesy of Japan Automobile College)
Every year, the Tokyo Auto Salon showcases a variety of custom and tuning cars.
Among them, the customization department of the Nihon Automobile College (commonly known as NATS) in Chiba Prefecture has become the talk of the town for the custom cars created by its students each time.
In the past, the “”NATS R35 Road Star”” based on the Nissan “”Fairlady Z Roadster (Z33)”” was made to look like a “”GT-R (R35),”” and the “”COSMO VISION”” based on the Mazda “”Roadster”” was a modern revival of the “”Cosmo Sport.
Furthermore, a variety of custom cars will be produced, including the “”LM800T,”” which is based on the design of the Lexus “”LM300h,”” and an American lowrider version of Toyota’s third-generation “”Crown (MS50 model).
Among these, a super duty truck based on the Alphard will be produced for the Tokyo Auto Salon 2023, and it has been named the “”Alphard Super Dury Truck.
The term “”duty truck”” refers to a pickup truck with two rear wheels on each side for a total of four wheels, a customization seen in North America and elsewhere.
The truck was built by extending the rear end of the Alphard’s body and joining the cargo area, and although the overall length has not been measured, it is expected to be close to 6 meters.
So why did they decide to convert the Alphard, a luxury minivan, into a super-duty truck?
The student in charge of the production had the following to say.
The idea to build a duty truck came from a group of members interested in truckin’ (sporty truck customization) and American cars.
When choosing a base vehicle, we decided on the Toyota Alphard because we wanted to draw attention to the unexpectedness of using a familiar Japanese vehicle as a base.
I am certain that this will be a one-of-a-kind custom car.
With such a production background, what were some of the difficulties involved in creating a custom car that had never been done before?
First of all, we had a hard time finding the right combination of strength and weight (in order to obtain official approval) by extending the body of the car, so we had to make sure that it was sturdy.
The cargo bed was made from panels of the current Hilux with the support of the local Chiba Toyota Group.
We are aiming to complete the production with the support of many other parts makers as well.

As of October 2022, the Alphard Super Duty Truck has been completed with the Alphard and Hilux welded together.
After further processing, the completed version is scheduled to be unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Salon to be held in January 2023.

Toyota plans to launch 15 EV models by 2025 as part of its full lineup of electric vehicles. The “”bZ”” series will be a new series of EVs, of which seven models are planned to be released in the bZ series.The bZ series, a new EV series, is intended to be accepted by many customers in China, the U.S., Europe, and other regions where demand for EVs and electricity supply from renewable energy sources is high. According to Toyota, the company aims to expand the range of customer choices and further reduce CO2 emissions in each region where it sells its vehicles by coordinating with energy policies that promote renewable energy. The “”bZ”” in the car name stands for “”beyond Zero. The name “”bZ”” stands for “”beyond Zero,”” expressing the company’s desire to provide customers with value that goes beyond mere “”Zero Emission.
The bZ4X will feature an open and flexible interior space and an innovative exterior design that are unique to EVs.

Subaru, Daihatsu, Suzuki, and China’s BYD have been named as partners.
◆ EV-specific platform jointly developed with Subaru
The bZ4X is the first EV in Toyota’s bZ series and is an SUV-type EV jointly developed with its partner Subaru. Joint development between Toyota and Subaru began with the first generation Toyota 86 and the first generation Subaru BRZ. bZ4X uses the “”e-TNGA”” EV-exclusive platform jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru. Toyota, with its expertise in electrification, and Subaru, with its superior AWD technology, have brought together their respective strengths to create an EV that is both comfortable and enjoyable to drive.The bZ4X has short overhangs and a long wheelbase, which are achieved through the use of an EV-specific platform, to achieve distinctive styling and an interior space comparable to that of a D-segment sedan.
It features a steer-by-wire system that provides a smooth driving feel at will. The low instrument panel and meters positioned above the steering wheel provide a sense of openness and improved visibility, and are said to further enhance driving safety and security.
◆European models are also only sold on a lease basis through KINTO.
The bZ4X for Europe, like the bZ4X in the Japanese market, will only be available for lease through KINTO, which offers a subscription service.In order to allow European users to drive the bZ4X with peace of mind, the bZ4X will be sold on a lease basis with monthly payments that include maintenance, road service, accessories, charging, and insurance.
