Given a manifold \( \mathbbm{M} \) admitting a maximally supersymmetric consistent truncation, we show how to formulate new consistent truncations by restricting to a set of Kaluza-Klein modes on \( \mathbbm{M} \) invariant under some subgroup of the group of isometries of \( \mathbbm{M} \) . These truncations may involve either finite or infinite sets of modes. We provide their global description using exceptional generalised geometry to construct a ‘deformed’ generalised parallelisation starting with that on \( \mathbbm{M} \) . This allows us to explicitly embed known consistent truncations directly into exceptional generalised geometry/exceptional field theory, and to obtain the equations governing situations where the consistent truncation retains an infinite tower of modes.
