Parallel Hybrid
Engine of Parallel Hybrid system supplies power for the motor and battery. It can also improve fuel economy by directly propelling the vehicle.
Toyota’s 4th-generation SELF-CHARGING HYBRID technology delivers powerful yet seamless acceleration and ride comfort. Without the need of external electric power source, the technology offers five benefits, including fuel economy and factory warranty for the battery of the hybrid system, for a cleaner future with low emission.
In general, hybrid technology is divided into the following four categories. Toyota makes the use of a parallel hybrid system to maximize the power and fuel efficiency in a class of its own.
Engine of Parallel Hybrid system supplies power for the motor and battery. It can also improve fuel economy by directly propelling the vehicle.
Electric motor of Full Hybrid system provides sufficient power for normal driving without using the engine. Full Hybrid includes Series Hybrid and Parallel Hybrid.
Engine of Series Hybrid system is used to generate electricity for the motor or storage in the battery.
Mild Hybrid system uses an integrated starter / generator alongside the engine and transmission system. It provides power during acceleration and facilitates regenerative braking. The vehicle is powered by the engine and transmission system during normal driving.
Emitting zero waste or chemical but water, eco-friendly hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle is powered by chemical reaction with hydrogen.
The hybrid vehicle is powered by electric motor up to 15km/h when pulling away from a stop. The electric motor also powers the hybrid vehicle when it is put in reverse. The hybrid vehicle is powered by both the electric motor and petrol engine during normal cruising. Excess power is converted into electricity that can be stored in the battery for later use.
The hybrid vehicle is powered by petrol engine and electric motor during acceleration. At the same time the petrol engine also powers the generator and the electric motor alongside the battery. The hybrid vehicle will use the regenerative braking system during braking. The spinning wheels power the generator to produce electricity and store it in the battery. Both petrol engine and electric motor are turned off as the vehicle reaches a complete stop. The battery continues to provide electricity for the audio system, air conditioning, lights, etc.
The hybrid vehicle is powered by petrol engine during high speed cruising to ensure spectacular performance.
Self-Charging With Enhanced Fuel Economy: regenerative braking of Toyota hybrid vehicle converts kinetic energy into electric energy during deceleration and braking to recharge the battery without the need for external plug-in power. Enjoy improved fuel economy of hybrid technology.
Cleaner Future (Eco-friendly): set the standard for sustainability as the electric motor reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
Peace of Mind: The lifespan of hybrid vehicle and battery depends on various factors including weather conditions and driving habits. Hybrid vehicles purchased before January 1, 2019 can enjoy 7-year or 100,000 km (whichever comes first) factory warranty for main battery of the hybrid system.
Quiet ride: Electric motor of Toyota hybrid vehicle works seamlessly with petrol engine to offer comfortable rides.
Power Split Device (PSD) of Toyota’s parallel hybrid system seamlessly distributes power to generator of Toyota hybrid vehicle. It works with electric-continuously variable transmission (e-CVT) to optimise performance of the petrol engine.
The “B” mode of Toyota hybrid helps slow down the vehicle when descending a hill. Electric motor will power the generator during deceleration to produce electricity and keep the brakes from being overloaded. Due to limited capacity, battery of the hybrid system will get fully charged easily when descending a hill. The “B” mode can serve as regenerative braking while the gear ratio will also be optimised during regenerative braking to ensure safe yet cost effective braking performance.
Other than one particular set of epicyclic gears, the whole mechanism is controlled electronically with static point contact to ensure reliability and durability.
Toyota hybrid lineup is thoughtfully designed to meet your needs, including Corolla Cross, RAV4, C-HR, Sienta, Alphard and taxi. Find out more about affordable monthly financing plans, Toyota MaxValue for your dream car.
