Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) is a powertrain technology developed by Toyota for hybrid electric vehicles. It is widely used in the following models: Yaris, Auris, Prius, Avalon Hybrid, Highlander Hybrid, Camry Hybrid, Estima, Alphard, Lexus RX400h/RX450h, Lexus ES300h, Lexus GS450h, Lexus LS600h/LS600hL, Lexus CT200h, Lexus 300h, Lexus HS250h, and Lexus NX300h. Additional knowledge: System principle: Toyota's HSD system replaces conventional gear transmission with an electrochemical system. New features of the hybrid system: When the vehicle is accelerating or under heavy load conditions, the electric motor can assist in driving the wheels, thereby supplementing the insufficient power output of the engine itself and improving overall vehicle performance. This system has a high degree of hybridization, reaching about 30%, and the technology is now mature and widely applied.
