Toyota, a world renowned auto manufacturer, has a brilliant engineering and design team, evident from its stylish and creatively designed models. Besides penetrating the deepest oceans in terms of luxury and style, the company has conquered future technologies with some of its amazing hybrid models.
Toyota has unveiled its posh Lexus hybrid cars in European, American and Japanese markets. Most people would remember the Prius was unveiled in the year 1997. Top representatives of the company spoke about the potential of this brand and also the future of hybrid cars. Toyota’s managing officer; Santoshi Ogiso gave some insights into the Prius and also its capacity to create a cleaner and greener planet.
The next-gen hybrids will be powered with new technologies such as superior batteries with increased density. Most of the research is emphasized on lithium ion batteries and nickel metal hydride. The notion of focusing on powerful batteries to fuel hybrids can be burdensome, this is a great task ahead, some interesting facts about next-gen Prius is the combination of futuristic technologies that can push hybrid cars to a whole new level, which is electric motors and batteries. One important point to consider is the expertise behind the creation of hybrid cars is the incorporation of small elements in the form of battery technology to build a car. The same principle is used in software industries called nanotechnology.
Hybrid technology, like other inventive and newly discovered techniques, comes in a grand package in terms of size and cost. Consumers however enjoy a smart and comfortable way of life. This can be compared to the swift life pace contributed by mobile phones.
Ogiso also said, the present Prius model might possess supreme power densities, but the model after that will possess higher figures. The main area of research is the powerful lithium air batteries; here the technology used is advancements in metallurgical research by studying low valence materials.
The next-gen Prius is the 4th model since first launched in 1997, the companies has incorporated various thermodynamic techniques. The principle used is efficiency or energy conversions. The thermal efficiency of the internal combustion engine of Prius is 38.5%.
Toyota has recently launched the Camry hybrid car in India, the car is operates on a powerful 2.5 liter beltless petrol mill that releases remarkable power outputs of 201 Bhp. The technology used is (E CVT), Electronically Controlled Continuous Variable Transmission, which aids in higher drive performance, lower Noise Vibration and Harshness levels and also lesser fuel consumptions.
The Prius and Camry are fueled with the latest research conducted on battery and thermal technology. These cars are not just excellent sources to lower pollution levels, but also to prevent allergies and lung diseases, especially for pedestrians in India.
This is probably the starting point to push hybrid cars; engineers are discovering newer thermodynamic and chemical technology methods to push the power of hybrid cars to a whole new level. Years from now, the roads might be jam packed with hybrid cars. It would be interesting if many more such hybrid cars are unveiled in the near future.
