How Does Toyota Hybrid System Work? | Electrified Powertrains Part 1 | Toyota

Toyota helped start the electrification revolution in 1997 when it introduced the hybrid powertrain and proved its viability for use in passenger vehicles. Let's take a quick look at the THS, Toyota Hybrid System, that's found within so many Toyota vehicles. Learn about the functions of a prime plug-in hybrid: • How Does a Prime Plug-...

Thank you, Toyota, for providing us with the most reliable machines for centuries.

[@rickjames5998]

for centuries? bruh

[@audiquagaming]

Lol

My 2007 RAV4 had engine failure at 145K, so that's not been my experience.

[@nick5926]

thanks for these informative videos. It explained that there is still a separate 12volt battery and what it does. I had thought before that the hybrid battery or extra battery pack could do everything the 12volt battery does before and had replaced it. It seems the inverter converter charges the 12volt battery now. It replace a car alternator that use to do that job.

So when does the oil engine lubrication system come into play? It moves with the first electric motor For example, while driving at 80 km/h with an electric motor, is there any lubrication when the gasoline engine is activated??

I'm driving a 2024 Hybrid Plug-in and it's not good on gas at all. I don't get the appeal. The electric only gets 42 miles on a full charge and is used up very quickly. It doesn't self-charge, either.

How far can you drive on a hybrid electric battery before gas engine kicks in?

Depends on the vehicle, Some cannot at all drive with only Electric power.

[@urimtefiki226]

When I will make money I will buy probably a Toyota.

[@broderp]

There is either wrong information in the video or my car is not working like the video states. My 2024 Prius Limited AWD never shows the rear motor MTR recharging the battery under any brak8 g or coasting condition. Both of the power flow screens (on the instrument cluster and on the infotainment screen) only ever show the front wheels recharging the battery. So is this video wrong, or does my car need an update, or is something wrong with it? I'm not expecting an answer here, but people should know its not like they say.

[@richardnwilson]

A hybrid car like the Toyota Highlander which I have (and love) does nothing to move forward towards an electrified future. Unless it's a plug-in hybrid all of the Power for the vehicle comes from gasoline. It's just a way to make a gasoline car a little more efficient. It's just intentionally deceptive when Toyota says hybrids will help move towards an electrified future.

[@kapilsharmaWorld_uncensored]

Why exclusive EV is even a thing?

[@andresd6193]

This extremely complex design explains why Toyota is fighting the EV transition so hard, they invested so much time and money in this design and they have to recover their investment. Unfortunately it doesn't save the consumer much money as it will take thousands of miles to recover the extra 2 to 3 thousand dollars people have to pay for a hybrid system in fuel savings. About 3 to 5 years. It also doesn't save the environment much as European regulators are just now discovering that just like diesel gate, hybrid vehicles contaminate about 3 times as much as manufacturers claim they do. Hybrids are the silliest vehicles ever developed that are only good for Toyota's bottom line.

[@Anthanov]

yeah, keep on making hybrids and never evs toyota

[@majorrgeek]

hybrids cost more so you break even after about 5 years is not inspiring economics

[@seaplaneguy1]

New engine tech (NET) being developed will be 75% efficient below 50% of torque and 60% efficient from 50% to 100% of torque. It is distributed power and needs NO electric motor. it has 75% brake recovery vs Electric at 55%. The combustion engine in a hybrid is ~ 35% peak efficiency. Charging, storing and retrieving energy from battery is 0.35 (combustion engine) x 0.93 (generator) x 0.95 (battery in) x 0.93 x 0.95 = 0.35 x 0.78 = 27.3%. Braking is 0.55 x 0.78 = 43%. A hybrid is heavier and results in a weight factor of around 1.12x better MPG for New Engine tech (NET). Compared to a Toyota hybrid, NET will be 75/35 x 1.12 = 2.4x better HWY than hybrid. Prius at 56 x 2.4 = 134 MPG HWY. In city, 75/27.3 x 1.12 = 3.077x better. Prius city is 57 x 3.077= 175.4 with the SAME brake recovery, and with 75% brake recovery it is 36% better... 57 x 3.077 x 1.36 = 238 MPG city. New combustion tech (NET) with a Prius body would be: 134 HWY 238 City 196 Combined 196 new engine tech (NET) vs 56.5 hybrid is 196/56.5 = 3.47x better MPG on average. NET also has no NOX, CO, and can capture CO2 and water in a combined cycle. The CO2 can be used to make fuel from solar Thermal at $1/gal, vs a 100% RE grid at $20/gal for a fuel cost ratio of 20:1. Factor in fuel cost ratio with fuel consumption ratio of 3.47 and you get a cost ratio of 69.4x from RE fuel vs RE grid in a plug-in mode. There is NO point to making EVs with NET tech. In Winter, NET has 47% of drive load for heat use (20% from waste, 20% from intercooling and 7% from high heating value of fuel) vs an BEV at 85% with 10% waste heat useable. NET is also a heat pump (COP4) and thus can leverage for cooling and heating as needed. The cost to you can be a SAVINGS of $1-2 billion on each car model and massive sales with NET. Simply install NET in old ICE cars, recalibrate airbags, and sell the model for 5 more years with NET. On year ten, you would switch to NET "skateboard" power tech and all passenger car models are in the 150/240 range HWY/City. A mini van like the a Sienna would be around 90 HWY and 214 City. Range on 20 gallons (2 minute fill) is 3000 miles with CO2 capture and 9000 miles without. No more silly charging... The question is: Is Toyota interested in new engine tech that can make or brake the company? If not, then you might want to get ready for bankruptcy. All EV companies and old ICE/hybrid companies will not be able to compete with NET. Happy to discuss it.

[@lucasholmes6410]

Interesting basically what musk does with some of his products

[@lucasholmes6410]

Where did you hear of this NET I haven’t seen or heard of it yet? Is it in production anywhere? I wonder if it’s a lot of stress in the engine or what?

I have heard of it before but I know they where having issues with u believe ammonia? For one it’s to slow to do anything lol

I am just stating what my R&D is doing. Take it or leave it. You have NO idea what I am doing or what can be done. If you were smart you would ask questions and humble yourself as I had to going into this. I am the inventor. Yes I am more than qualified to do this and am a Mechanical Engineer with Masters degree. I am giving them heads up, trying to get to them to see the light. If they can do it themselves, then fine. Go for it. But if they can't then bankruptcy will follow unless they want me to help them out. This new engine tech (NET) or similar (I don't have a lock on innovation) is where is has to go. EVs are silly stupid junk that are a dead end. Same with hybrids. @@lucasholmes6410
