Why is Toyota's TNGA Architecture Safer?
2 Answers
Because the vehicle development under the TNGA architecture is not based on any existing method, but rather revolves around the driver, starting from the cockpit, to reshape the fundamental performance and architecture of the car from scratch. Under the new TNGA production model, through TNGA's optimization and coordination, the performance of the product is elevated to a higher level, which includes the most crucial safety performance. Here is an introduction to Toyota Motor: 1. Headquarters: The headquarters is located in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, and Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo. The founder is Kiichiro Toyoda, and the current president is Akio Toyoda. 2. Ranking: In the 2020 Fortune Global 500 list, Toyota Motor ranked 10th.
Having driven several Toyota models built on the TNGA platform, the most noticeable improvement is the significantly more solid chassis. Older Toyotas used to feel like driving a boat, but now they handle corners with much more stability. The key is that they've lowered the vehicle's center of gravity and incorporated more ultra-high-strength steel. For example, the Camry's body rigidity has increased by 30% compared to the previous generation, which helps disperse impact forces during collisions. Once on the highway, I witnessed a Corolla being rear-ended—the front of the other car was completely smashed, while the Corolla's trunk only had minor deformation, and the passengers were completely unharmed. The active safety features are also top-notch, with the TSS system standard across the lineup. Even the base-model Corolla comes with pre-collision and lane-keeping assist, making it particularly friendly for new drivers.
