Separate names with a comma.
And there may be time-of-use plans that encourage night charging anyway. Toyota really needs to work on their battery packaging in any future...
I'd say that it's more than just the one-way clutch - it merely allows MG1 to contribute power along with MG2, without spinning the engine...
I've heard of people putting Gen 2 Prius pistons in Yaris engines for a higher-power engine running on very high octane fuel. Putting Corolla cams...
Yes, looks like all generations of Prius use the same basic front suspension layout (which, interestingly, except for the sway bar mounting, is...
There may be eccentrics or replacement suspension links available to get camber adjustment done right, FWIW. Also, the Prime's rear suspension...
The P610's entire gear reduction train also looks a lot like the Ford/Aisin HD-10/HD-20 and Ford HF-35, although with some simplification - the...
You're thinking of Formula 1, where Toyota outspent everyone, and didn't get results. We're talking about the World Endurance Championship -...
They're not stuck with low DF - they can run the Silverstone/Spa high DF package at all circuits other than Le Mans. Basically, you can...
Except the Pacifica's system is transverse FWD, which is not a common layout for American-market pickups at all (the Honda Ridgeline, the S-10 EV,...
I don't think so, actually - note that it seems to land at right about 4000 RPM after every shift, indicating well-spaced ratios (at least for...
Yes, they did update the engine from the 2GR-FXE to the 2GR-FXS - it gained VVT-iW on the intake cam, and a direct injection system (and a bump in...
But the Prius can get the engine RPM up pretty quickly itself, so I wouldn't be so sure that that's necessary...
It'll be interesting to see what happens with a TNGA RAV4h, too - the new Dynamic Force engine and the P610-derived (P710?) gearbox will help a...
88.1% combined cycle efficiency is... quite impressive. For that matter, so is 45.7% electrical efficiency, meaning after electrical conversion...
Except downsize-and-turbocharge is a lie. The only forced induction ZR engine that I'm aware of is the 1.8 liter supercharged one for the upcoming...
2NR-FKE: 38% thermal efficiency per Toyota Exhibits High-thermal-efficiency 1.5L Engine (page 2) - Nikkei Technology Online 1NZ-FXE: 37% thermal...
Here's the fundamental problems I see with that product in a US context. The first is size. AFAIK, the reason why they didn't do a three-row v...
Well, my understanding was that the v didn't have an extra reduction gearbox, but rather a shorter gear ratio in the same reduction gear section...
I believe it's embossed or in the mold.
I'm hearing a clicking sound, which is almost certainly the solenoids in the braking system functioning to modulate fluid pressure. This is in...
