Hello, Firstly Prius Chat is an amazing resource. I am an student conducting a research on Prius PHEV and I hope some one can point me to right direction with this specific problem. I am planning on explaining Toyota Prius Plugin Hybrids and have looked everywhere for an animation that would help me convey my message. However, I have failed even to find an animation explaining regular Prius. I was hoping to have something similar to Volvo Recharge concept video, please see link below: You guys are my last hope as I am not a flash expert. Sincerely Sasonion
These documents are a good place to start... hybrid-type_full_details hybrid-type_full_operation prius-psd_details ...then there's a few others, plus some PSD animations. .
Poke around on the Toyota site looking for explanations of how HSD technology works. I know I've seen many animations. The European Toyota site has a very good one. The Toyota.jp site had great technical detail and much of it is in English.
