PHV Technical Video
More info at http://www.priusphv.com/ The Plug-in Hybrid - Another development in the high-performance Toyota Hybrid System. In this video we explore the technical aspects of start-up, cruising, acceleration, deceleration, as well as our new high-efficiency charging system, new HV battery, power control ECU, and plug-in remote A/C system.
Hybrid System Atkinson Cycle
Hybrid System Atkinson Cycle
Atkinson-Cycle is used on Hybrid systems (Prius) to get better fuel economy and have a broader power control of the engine output. The Atkinson Cycle is an integral part of the PRIUS Hybrid and all FORD and NISSAN derivatives. The idea behind the A.C. is to delay the valve timing and therefore controlling the compression ration and output power. There are many other reason for the Atkinson cycle.

ZF 8-Speed Automatic Transmission
ZF has developed a new automatic transmission for cars with eight speeds that can achieve more than 6% fuel savings. The priority aim in development, however, was not the maximum number of gears, but minimum consumption.
ZF engineers had set the bar high to produce a new benchmark for automatic car transmissions. The second generation of the ZF 6HP 6-speed transmission, that entered production only in 2006, defines standards that are hard to top: reaction times faster than human perception, direct engine linkage by early-stage torque converter lock-up and intelligent, adaptive control software, that almost reads the driver's intentions from his foot.
But the new transmission is capable of even more - it saves (even more) fuel. It also guarantees ultimate driving enjoyment, as well as the variability needed to be able to use future technologies.

Hybrid Acceleration Mode
Hybrid Acceleration Mode
Is one of the main Hybrid Modes of Operation. It is important to know which Hybrid mode the system is in. Here, you can also see the electric powertrain and internal combustion engine at work together. The specific interaction between the ICE and Electric drive is the key to why these systems are so efficient. Hybrid Acceleration Mode: See it here in clear detail with CG animation.

Driving the Toyota Prius
excellent city car, but terrible on the highway with mountains. Ultra quite when stopping at red light

The Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive System
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 flows of mechanical power and electric power for safe and comfortable vehicle operation at the highest possible efficiency.
