Toyota Hybrid Synergy PDF User Manual

Toyota is developing and enhancing a wide range of powertrains that run on a variety of power sources. Toyota perfected the series/parallel or “strong” hybrid to deliver the energy- saving benefit of a series hybrid together with the acceleration benefit of a parallel hybrid. Two key technologies – the power split device and sophisticated energy management – make this possible.

They constantly optimize the ?ows of mechanical power and electric power for safe and comfortable vehicle operation at the highest possible efficiency. Hybrid technology’s potential is becoming clearer by the day. At Toyota, we do not regard hybrid technology as simply a steppingstone to the age of fuel cell vehicles.

We see it as the core technology that will become dominant in the eco-car market and eventually evolve to form the basis of what we call the “ultimate eco-car.” These include lean-burn and direct-injection gasoline engines, common rail direct-injection diesel engines, en- gines designed to run on alternative fuels, such as CNG and biofuels, pure electric vehicles and vehicles that run on high-pressure hydro- gen, such as the Toyota FCHV, a fuel cell hybrid vehicle that began limited sales in December 2002.
