Such a design can be referred to as a multi-regime design. [36] The Two-Mode Hybrid powertrain design can be classified as a compound-split design, since the addition of four clutches within the transmission allows for multiple configurations of engine power-splitting. In addition to the clutches, this transmission has a second planetary gearset.
In 2006 and 2007, a further development of the HSD drivetrain, under the Lexus Hybrid Drive name, was fitted to the Lexus GS 450h / LS 600h sedans as the L110 transmission. Previous versions of HSD/THS were fitted to transaxles used with front-wheel drive platforms; Lexus Hybrid Drive applied the two-motor HSD concept to a longitudinal ...
The plug-in hybrid is usually a general fuel-electric (parallel or serial) hybrid with increased energy storage capacity, usually through a lithium-ion battery, which allows the vehicle to drive on all-electric mode a distance that depends on the battery size and its mechanical layout (series or parallel). It may be connected to mains ...
After the UX went hybrid only for 2023, Lexus appears to be ditching the old system for a new, more powerful hybrid setup that also promises better efficiency. 2025 Lexus UX300h Features Upgraded ...
The winners represent the three leading drivetrain technologies — respectively: ICE, hybrid and battery-electric. Each is in its own way a paragon of efficiency engineering, design, technology ...
The hybrid aspect comes when the powertrain control system decides either gasoline power or electric power must be added to whichever is already moving the car. This type is known as a "through ...
The GM code for the second-generation Voltec powertrain drive unit (transaxle) is 5ET50. [23] Compared to the first-generation 4ET50/55 transaxles, the overall design has shifted closer to being a parallel hybrid, running more often using mechanical power from the engine supplemented by the electric motors in hybrid mode.
The powertrain layout of a motorised vehicle such as a car is often defined by the location of the engine or motors and the drive wheels. Layouts can roughly be divided into three categories: front-wheel drive (FWD), rear-wheel drive (RWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD). Many different combinations of engine location and driven wheels are found in ...
