[SMM Express] According to reports, Toyota announced that its first mass-produced EV, scheduled for launch in 2026, will adopt front and rear dual integrated casting technology. Toyota initiated the integrated casting project in September 2022, installing large-scale casting machines at its Japanese plants for prototyping EV parts.
The company aims to achieve a global sales target of 1.5 million EVs by 2026. As a core strategy, integrated casting technology is expected to halve production steps and reduce manufacturing equipment costs. The next-generation Lexus LF-ZC, also planned for launch in 2026, will also utilize this technology.

Head of Samarinda PUPR Office Desy Damayanti stated that per the latest 2026 central government regulation, local governments can no longer pursue independent agreements with investors, all PLTSa projects must go through Danantara as a single gateway. This centralization ensures uniform technology standards, financing schemes, and national oversight across Indonesia.
