The manual might still be around.
The future of Toyota Electric Vehicles is going to be exciting. Toyota’s future EVs may also include some elements from the past, besides the improvements in performance, range and efficiency. According to a Toyota patent filing, a clutch-operated manual Transmission may be on the future options list for your next Toyota. How does an EV’s manual transmission work? Let’s see.
Pseudo is an interesting addition, since it suggests that the entire transmission is for entertainment purposes only. Toyota will make this system even more intuitive by adding the shift reaction force generator to its electric vehicle. This generator generates a shift response force when the pseudo-shifter is operated using the reaction force actuator. Toyota EVs may have a simulated manual transmission, which allows for the same movement as a manual transmission in a sports car. We are excited to see what Toyota will do in the future for EVs.
