The hybrid transaxle, designated P110, [29] includes two electric motors (MG1 and MG2) and a planetary gearset, which Toyota calls the "Power Split Device" (PSD); mechanical power from the internal combustion engine (E) can be directed either to the wheels or to MG1, acting as a generator.
(Several states have begun restricting HOV lane access by hybrid and clean-fuel vehicles due to crowding.) Traction battery power is the amount of power available from the electric portion of the powertrain without the aid of the internal combustion engine (ICE). This is generally limited by the traction battery rather than the electric motor(s).
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.
It’s a regular hybrid—and it's also an electric car with no more than 60 miles of range. Not surprisingly, that can confuse a lot of car shoppers.
The system does not use air motors to drive the vehicle, being directly driven by a hybrid engine. The engine uses a mixture of compressed air and gasoline injected into the cylinders. [37] A key aspect of the hybrid engine is the "active chamber", which is a compartment heating air via fuel doubling the energy output. [38]
