It is said that the hybrid vehicle was born when H. Piper took out a patent in 1905 in the U.S. for "a car that runs on two or more sources of power". In 1997, the world-leading Toyota Hybrid System (THS) was developed, and the Prius, a dedicated hybrid passenger car, was released.
・It featured a rational package within the smallest feasible body size (Corolla class size), containing a compact engine compartment, sufficient space for luggage, and a mid-class passenger compartment space.
・The new package also featured leading-edge interior and exterior design
・Its hybrid system is designed to maximize resources and be friendly to the environment. |

| Vehicle introduction | : | The Prius has three types of driving force: mechanical driving force provided by engine; electrically converted driving force from a generator that is applied to a motor; and electrical driving force from a battery. The electrical conversion drive allows the elimination of a conventional transmission and the achievement of very smooth and responsive driving without shift shocks.
(1) The Prius drives on the motor in regions of low engine efficiency (starting, low-speed running, gradual downslopes, etc.) (fuel supply is cut and the engine stopped).
(2) Engine power is divided into two during normal driving: for direct driving of the wheels, and for driving the generator to drive the motor.
(3) On wide open throttle acceleration, power is also supplied from the battery to supplement the driving force.
(4) On deceleration and braking, the wheels drive the motor, causing it to operate as a generator. The generated power is stored in the battery. | |
