</p><p>&nbsp; <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Brand/Toyota">Toyota</a></u> manufactures 2.4 litre and 2.8 litre diesel engines in its new engine plant at Jigani, Karnataka. &nbsp;Aforementioned engines power <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Toyota/Innova_crysta">Innova Crysta</a></u> and in future these units might find a home under upcoming <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Toyota/Fortuner">Fortune</a>r</u>’s<u></u> hood. This plant is having excess capacity which now Toyota plans to utilize by manufacturing the 1.4 litre diesel found under hood of <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Toyota/Etios_Liva">Liva</a></u>, <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Toyota/Etios">Etios</a></u>, <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Toyota/Etios_Cross">Liva Cross</a></u> and <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Toyota/Corolla_Altis">Corolla Altis</a></u>. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; Currently, the 1.4 diesel unit is imported from Japan. This certainly attracts higher cost and considering the application of 1.4 litre unit is mainly in super competitive small car segment, lower costs could be vital for more business. There are also reports that Etios/Liva facelift is on way to Indian shores. If the locally sourced 1.4 unit manages to sneak into the facelifted car, there is a high probability of a competitive, value enhancing price tag. </p><p>&nbsp; It’s noteworthy that NGT’s ban in NCR has affected Toyota pretty hard leading to unused capacity at new engine plant. In view of the ban which Toyota feels is not rationalized one, it pulled the plug on new investments planned for India. The 1.4 litre engine is offered in two states of tune, the higher one applicable to Corolla Altis (88 BHP @ 3800 RPM and 205 Nm @ 1800-2800 RPM) and Liva, Liva Cross and Etios possessing lower state of tune (68 BHP @ 3800 RPM and 170 Nm @ 1800-2400 RPM).</p><p>Source: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.autocarpro.in/news-national/toyota-industries-capacity-diesel-engines-bangalore-plant-21168">Autocarpro</a></p><p></p>
