The Engine Doesn’t Change For The 2010 Land Cruiser
Toyota’s 2010 Land Cruiser debuted in the U.S. with its popular 2008 dual Variable Valve Timing Intelligent engine still intact. This 5.7-liter double overhead camshaft (DOHC) 32-valve electronic fuel injection (EFI) V8 boasts 381 horsepower @ 5600 rpm and 401 pound-feet of torque @ 3600 rpm. The power of the Toyota-designed “smart” engine adequately compensates for the SUV’s 5,688-pound curb weight.
The engine first appeared in the United States in the company’s Tundra pick-up truck in 2007, coinciding with Toyota’s 50th anniversary of its entry into the U.S. automobile market. VVT-i engines were incorporated into the Land Cruiser the following year. The newly-designed engine was part of an overall redesign of the Cruiser.

The large capital investments of corporations, airlines, and other organizations in aerospace technology mean that it has to be impeccably designed and provide high performance. This means that designers, engineers, and others need to maintain a high level of excellence over years of project work which can be frustrating and exhausting. Indeed, the high pressure of the aerospace industry can wear down the resolve of aerospace professionals who are in the industry over a long period. However, there are ways to reignite energy and draw out the enthusiasm that got professionals into the industry in the first place. The best way for aerospace workers to stay consistent throughout their careers is to keep the end user of aerospace technology in mind during each project.

Professional Indemnity for Engineers – Engineering Insurance!
As an engineer you might have designed, developed and engineered some excellent good ideas; software; or products, but can you deny the risks associated with these services? So, have you got yourself covered with an engineering insurance policy to safeguard from these impending risks? Although, many engineers are aware of professional indemnity, they somehow are of the belief that ‘they-the engineers’ don’t need it!
