  We study exceptional algebroids in the context of warped compactifications of
type IIA string theory down to $n$ dimensions, with $n\le 6$. In contrast to
the M-theory and type IIB case, the relevant algebroids are no longer exact,
and their locali moduli space is no longer trivial, but has $5$ distinct
points. This relates to two possible scalar deformations of the IIA theory. The
proof of the local classification shows that, in addition to these scalar
deformations, one can twist the bracket using a pair of $1$-forms, a $2$-form,
a $3$-form, and a $4$-form. Furthermore, we use the analysis to translate the
classification of Leibniz parallelisable spaces (corresponding to maximally
supersymmetric consistent truncations) into a tractable algebraic problem. We
finish with a discussion of the Poisson-Lie U-duality and examples given by
tori and spheres in $2$, $3$, and $4$ dimensions.
