What is the principle of Toyota hybrid?
2 Answers
Toyota's hybrid principle is that the electric motor directly drives the wheels. Its hybrid system is divided into series hybrid system, parallel hybrid system, and series-parallel hybrid system. Relevant information is as follows: 1. The Toyota Avalon is a mid-size car with a body size of 4975mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1450mm in height, a wheelbase of 2870mm, a fuel tank capacity of 60L, and a curb weight of 1595kg. 2. The Toyota Avalon has a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of 209ps, a maximum power of 154kw, and a maximum torque of 250nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've been studying Toyota's hybrid system for many years, and the most amazing part is its planetary gear structure. The engine, generator, and drive motor are connected through planetary gears, like three dance partners moving in perfect harmony. At startup, it uses only the electric motor for quiet and fuel-efficient operation; the engine kicks in during acceleration, with excess energy immediately converted into electricity stored in the battery. The most magical part is energy recovery – when braking, the kinetic energy from the wheels is converted into electricity without any waste. The system uses nickel-metal hydride batteries with an exceptionally long lifespan; I've seen many vehicles run hundreds of thousands of kilometers without needing a battery replacement. This system doesn't require charging stations yet achieves half the fuel consumption of conventional vehicles.
