ORBITAL SUPPORTS TOYOTA ON NEW SUPERCHARGED TRD AURION
Melbourne, Australia: A Toyota Racing Development (TRD) vehicle due for launch later this year, the Aurion, featured at this year’s 2007 Melbourne International Motor Show. Orbital Corporation co-developed the engine calibration at its R&D facilities in Perth on the supercharged 3.5-litre dual VVT-i V6 engine. Integration, testing and validation of components were completed by TRD with technical assistance from Orbital.
Stephen Castles, TRD Chief Engineer, who managed the program from TRD’s Melbourne office, said "At the planning stage of the TRD Aurion we analysed where best to spend our development dollars to give the maximum benefit to the TRD customer.”
"The work of Orbital Engine Company (Orbital Corporation) in testing our engine modifications and working with our calibration engineer to establish engine ECU mapping has been critical to the success of this project. We see the collaboration with key local suppliers as crucial to maintaining the Toyota DNA of Quality, Durability and Reliability," said Mr Castles.
Highlighting a clear demonstration that Orbital’s business has grown beyond its core technology, Orbital Corporation’s CEO Rod Houston said “This cooperation over the past year with Toyota is a good example of the expanded engineering capability at Orbital and we look forward to continuing to add value in this area for Toyota.”
