contents We present a systematic framework for constructing consistent truncations of supergravity based on exceptional generalized cosets of the form $\GS \backslash G/H$. This approach generalizes the well-established generalized Scherk-Schwarz reductions on generalized parallelizable spaces $G/H$, which preserve maximal supersymmetry, to scenarios with reduced supersymmetry by introducing a non-trivial generalized structure group $\GS$. The double coset structure plays two distinct roles: for a given $G$, the choice of subgroup $\GS$ determines the (constant) generalized torsion/curvature and the pattern of supersymmetry breaking, while $H$ parameterizes inequivalent supergravity backgrounds that share the same truncated theory. The entire construction proceeds algebraically, systematically building $\GS$-invariant tensors from generalized frame fields, with the intrinsic torsion automatically constant and a $\GS$-singlet. Different choices of $H$ lead to distinct higher-dimensional backgrounds that truncate to the same lower-dimensional theory, thereby realizing U-duality. We illustrate the framework through explicit examples in double field theory and exceptional field theory.
