An onboard refueling vapor recovery system (ORVR) is a vehicle fuel vapor emission control system that captures volatile organic compounds (VOC, potentially harmful vapors) during refueling. [ 1 ] [ page needed ] There are two types of vehicle fuel vapor emission control systems: the ORVR, and the Stage II vapor recovery system. [ 2 ]
2006 Prius cut-away in a Toyota showroom in Paris. The Prius uses an all-electric A/C compressor for cooling, an industry first, [7] and also adds an electric power steering system to further minimize engine belt-driven engine accessories. Combined with a smaller and lighter NiMH battery, the XW20 is more powerful and more efficient than the XW10.

These blow-by gases, if not ventilated, inevitably condense and combine with the oil vapor present in the crankcase, forming oil sludge. Excessive crankcase pressure can furthermore lead to engine oil leaks past the crankshaft seals and other engine seals and gaskets. Therefore, it becomes imperative that a crankcase ventilation system be used.
This is a P510 transaxle, from a 2012– Prius c; a P410 transaxle, from a 2010–2015 Prius, is similar, but is physically larger; a Generation 4 P610 transaxle from a 2016– Prius is 47mm narrower than a P410 by implementing side-by-side motors rather than end-to-end motors.
Carbon is also the most common ingredient in charcoal. There has been a recent [clarification needed] push to replace the burning of fossil fuels with biomass. The replacement of this nonrenewable resource with biological waste would lower the carbon footprint of grill owners and lower the overall pollution of the world. [22]
