The traditional register occupies space within the instrument panel because it has a significant thickness in height with its multiple fins to direct airflow. Toyoda Gosei has incorporated a unique airflow control mechanism into register, which allows for airflow adjustment without losing wind force, even with a narrower opening. This innovation has reduced the product’s thickness by 40%. It is used on Toyota's bZ3X model released in China in March 2025.
