How Does Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive Work?
1 Answers
Introduction to Hybrid Synergy Drive Operation: 1. During Startup: When starting the vehicle, the hybrid system does not activate the engine. Instead, it relies solely on the electric motor which can instantly deliver maximum torque for a responsive and smooth start. 2. During Medium-Speed Driving: The engine remains inactive until the vehicle reaches a certain speed, with only the electric motor propelling the vehicle. This means the car runs purely on battery power until reaching speeds where the engine operates efficiently, thus consuming no gasoline during this phase. Depending on actual driving conditions, the engine may also engage simultaneously.
