That helps deliver smooth, safe control by allowing the outside wheel to cover more distance than the inside wheel through a corner — the kind of component you only notice when it’s doing its job.Beyond differentials, Toyota Alabama supplies engines for seven of the nine Toyota vehicles assembled in North America. These engines account for nearly half of all powertrains built in the region.
