Hybrid: Past, Present, Future

A "strong hybrid" system like Hybrid Synergy Drive can use its gasoline engine and electric motor in any combination and even run on just its stored electricity.

We have also created other kinds of hybrids to help lighten the environmental load every way we can.

Our latest SU-HV1 concept features a Hybrid Synergy Drive application optimized for the large displacement and output of a V6 engine. It uses a faster 120kW front motor and a 50kW rear motor for higher torque and higher output with a more powerful electrical system. A V6 (3.3-liter) engine using this technology can deliver V8- level performance, with fuel efficiency and emissions at compact car levels, twice as good as those of an SUV of equal displacement.

We will keep on developing further applications of hybrid technology because we believe it is a core technology. Toyota's hybrid systems can be integrated with many kinds of propulsion systems - not just gasoline engines, but also diesel engines, alternative energy vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles. And Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive technology is robust, powerful and flexible enough to enhance the environmental and driving performance of virtually any type of car, from family sedans to minivans and luxury vehicles.

This is really just the beginning. Hybrid technology will continue to evolve even further

Is a Convertible FJ coming?

WHAT'S REVEALED IN VEGAS DOESN'T STAY IN VEGAS


Industry insiders got a glimpse of Toyota's true creativity at the Specialty Equipment Market Association Show -- otherwise known as the SEMA Show -- in Las Vegas. From imaginative models to future releases, it was all on display in Vegas.

Toyota unveiled a special FJ Cruiser convertible at SEMA this year. "Open-air off-roading has been a part of FJ heritage for 50 years," notes Mark Amstock, national SUV product marketing manager for Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. "This is our modern-day tribute to that tradition." The soft-top version posed some challenges, including fabricating a top that would maintain the distinctive silhouette. "We worked hard to keep the exterior's integrity," says Amstock. "We're pleased with the results."

Another goal was to stay true to the FJ's mission to provide an affordable, fun-to-drive off-roader. "To keep it user-friendly and reduce added weight, we specified a manual top that could be operated by one person," Amstock relates. "This way we retained as much cargo capacity as possible."

The project team had to keep the design simple and credible as a realistic production vehicle in contrast to the other more whimsical or outrageous show-car projects. As Amstock explains, "One of the many reasons Toyota goes to SEMA is to gauge the reaction, to see what gets people excited. Sometimes, these 'what if' experiments can have a direct effect on future offerings from Toyota."

Fuel Ecomony Tips


Fuel Economy Tips
It's not just  WHAT you drive,
it's HOW you drive!

MAINTAIN AND REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE
  OVERDRIVE GEARS AND CRUISE CONTROL
 Regularly change lubricants, filters and replace worn components, i.e. spark plugs.  Some vehicle repairs, such as replacing faulty oxygen sensors, may significantly improve fuel economy.
   Overdrive gears slow engine speeds, saving fuel and reducing wear.  Cruise control helps maintain a constant speed, reducing fuel consumption.
 USE THE RECOMMENDED GRADE OF MOTOR OIL AND FUEL
   AVOID QUICK STARTS AND AGGRESSIVE DRIVING
 To maximize fuel economy, use the motor oil and fuel recommended in your owner's manual. 
   You'll save fuel and avoid unnecessary wear and tear!
 PROPERLY INFLATE YOUR TIRES
   CLEAN OUT YOUR VEHICLE
Check tire air pressure monthly and before long trips as proper inflation increases fuel economy up to 6%!!
      
 Unnecessary weight lowers fuel economy.
 SLOW DOWN
   AVOID RUSH HOUR AND COMBINE OUR TRIPS
 Fuel economy decreases about 1% for each mph over 55, i.e. driving 65 mph vs. 75 increases fuel economy about 10%
   Stop-and-go driving burns more fuel, as does each time you start up a cold engine.
