Lots of promises and a lot of work to do in just 3 years. In fact, they need to do 6 years of work (3 years of catch up and 3 years of fast progress). Last time they laid out an ambitious target like this we were underwhelmed by the results (they should have 6 BEVs and over 200k/year by early next year in their original eTNGA plan). But when the eTNGA program started we also did not know BEV adoption would increase at such rapid rate (it's already over 1/6 in 2022 but the expectation was <10%) so I could understand they weren't that committed to the plan. But it seems that under Koji Sato the main area of R&D is very clearly BEVs so we should have realistic expectations on new ICEV/HEV from TMC in the near future. I.e. these will very likely be "major refresh" instead of full redesigns.
