The HSD system has two principal battery packs, the High Voltage (HV) battery, also known as the traction battery, and a 12 volt lead-acid battery known as the Low Voltage (LV) battery, which functions as an auxiliary battery. The LV battery supplies power to the electronics and accessories when the hybrid system is turned off and the high ...
An uprated 1.5-litre petrol hybrid engine option with a combined system output of 96 kW (129 hp; 131 PS) was made available on 30 May 2023, marketed as the 'Hybrid 130' while the older hybrid option was named 'Hybrid 115'. [29] [30] The Yaris Hybrid-based Mazda2 Hybrid is produced from December 2021 and went on sale in 2022 alongside the older ...
(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).
EV battery problems also expose a hole in the green "circular economy" touted by carmakers. At Synetiq, the UK's largest salvage company, head of operations Michael Hill said over the last 12 ...
On October 21, 2010, Toyota announced a recall of 1.53 million vehicles (740,000 in the U.S., 599,000 in Japan, and 191,000 in Europe and other markets) worldwide; the recall affected MY 2005 and 2006 Avalon, MY 2004 to 2006 Highlander (non-hybrid) and Lexus RX330 and MY 2006 Lexus GS300, IS250 and IS350; the models affected in Japan and ...

A conventional 12-volt battery and starter motor are retained and used whenever the engine is cold as during initial start-up. Although unable to operate in pure all-electric EV mode, THS-M improves city and highway fuel efficiency over non-hybrid versions. According to Toyota, the system provides a 15% increase in fuel economy. [1]
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 ...
