Overview of the Toyota Hybrid system
Starting off
The electric motor is used primarily. Power stored in the battery is used to turn the motor.
Full acceleration
Power is provided by the petrol engine in addition to the electric motor. Output is maximised for acceleration.
Braking and deceleration
The electric motor functions as a generator to recharge the battery by itself. No fuel is used, so there are minimal CO₂ emissions.
Normal driving
A mix of petrol and electric is used for the best economy, depending on the conditions. The battery is recharged where possible.
At rest
With the car brought to a stop, the petrol engine cuts off. The system automatically avoids idling to conserve fuel and reduce CO₂ emissions.
