The BMW-Toyota Partnership: A New Chapter with the Toyota Verso

Introduction to the BMW-Toyota Collaboration

At last, we see some results from the BMW-Toyota partnership. BMW has been supplying its engines to not only Rolls Royce and Mini but also to some Peugeots, Citroens, and Wiesmann. Also, let us not forget that the mighty Mclaren F1 was powered by BMW. Now, we see another chapter in BMW’s history – the Toyota Verso.

About the Toyota Verso

The Toyota Verso is not a very famous name in the GCC, but it is a minivan by Toyota that is sold in European and some overseas markets. It will be powered by a 1.6 liter turbo-diesel engine. Verso will officially be the first to take advantage of this illustrious agreement between two giants.

Future Developments in the Partnership

The future for this partnership includes:

• Fuel-cell development
• A new joint sports car platform
• Lightweight bodywork research
• A new generation of lithium-air batteries
