It covers the range from high-power and -torque variants to fuel-efficient derivatives. The new powertrains are also up to 90 kg lighter than the present ones and fuel economy is improved by up to 35%. Once released, this stored energy can either accelerate the car or propel the vehicle once it reaches cruising speed.

The battery is also charged by regenerative braking during driving, which captures and stores energy while slowing the vehicle. The energy is then transferred back into the drivetrain through an electric motor which helps propel the vehicle during acceleration, reducing fuel consumption, CO 2 emissions and brake wear.

This system allows the energy generated during braking to be stored in the batteries and use the stored energy to power the vehicle’s electrical components, thus ensuring power availability even when the engine is not being used. The system is also designed to supply power to the drive assist motor, improving fuel economy.

First tests of the “Super Great HEV” have shown about a 10% improvement in fuel economy over conventional diesel-only vehicles. Long-haul trucks recover and store energy as they move up and down hills. The new vehicle concept will have its show premiere at the Tokyo Motor Show from 30 November to 11 December 2012.
