Toyota Hybrid Technology
The word Hybrid simply means a combination of two or more things. In the case of a Toyota this means two sources of power: an electric motor and a combustion engine.
The principle behind Hybrid Synergy Drive is simple; in vehicles equipped with conventional powertrain, energy is wasted mainly due to continuous braking. Hybrid Synergy Drive recovers most of this energy, stores it in a batter and then it is re-used at the most appropriate time through an electric motor.
