The Toyota Hybrid System THS / Hybrid Synergy Drive has a single power-split device (incorporated as a single three-shaft planetary gearset) and can be classified as an Input-Split, since the power of the engine is split at the input to the transmission. This in turn makes this setup very simple in mechanical terms, but has drawbacks of its own.
Schematic diagram of updated rear-wheel Hybrid Synergy Drive transmission (L210/ L210F) A simplified version was released in 2012 with the fourteenth generation Crown (S210); the L210 transmission omits the two clutches but retains the second planetary gearset (MSRD) applied to the output of MG2, in common with other Generation 3 transaxles ...
In a manual transmission vehicle, stop-start is activated by stopping the car, shifting the gear to neutral, and releasing the clutch. The engine will not stop if the car is moving, even if the aforementioned steps are followed (this is not true for all cars). The engine restarts when the clutch is pressed prior to selecting a gear to move the car.
Chrysler minivan, petro-hydraulic hybrid French MDI petro-air hybrid car developed with Tata. Hydraulic hybrid and pneumatic hybrid vehicles use an engine or regenerative braking (or both) to charge a pressure accumulator to drive the wheels via hydraulic (liquid) or pneumatic (compressed gas) drive units. In most cases the engine is detached ...
Toyota Motor Corporation's L-series of HybridSynergyDrive (HSD) transmissions (not to be confused the 4 and 5 speed manual L-series Toyota transmissions) are hybrid gearboxes containing 2 electric motors, one for driving the wheels and one for controlling the ratio between the engine and the electric drive motor, as well as an optional 2 or 4 speed planetary transmission attached to the end of ...
The most useful way to distinguish among hybrid-electric systems is to ask whether the hybrid system can power the vehicle on battery electricity alone, or whether the gasoline engine always has ...
A manual transmission requires the driver to manually select the gears [6] by operating a gear stick and clutch (which is usually a foot pedal for cars or a hand lever for motorcycles). Most transmissions in modern cars use synchromesh to synchronise the speeds of the input and output shafts.
A manual transmission (MT), also known as manual gearbox, standard transmission (in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States), or stick shift (in the United States), is a multi-speed motor vehicle transmission system where gear changes require the driver to manually select the gears by operating a gear stick and clutch (which is usually ...
