Separate names with a comma.
I seem to recall reading that in the Escape hybrid Ford gets more capacity out of their NiMH battery pack by widening the SOC margins at the upper...
The other thing that puzzles me is what exactly is the "Normal" mode. Something between Eco and Power? A response curve to go-pedal position that...
An unintended consequence perhaps, Doug, but still a brilliant stroke of marketing magic!
What would you call it then? It is a car, (short for carriage) and it has a motor (instead of horses!)
Of the 4 drive options available on the new 2010 Prius (Normal, EV, Eco and Power), which of the four are available when using CC on the highway?...
Don't you just love the way the G3 Prius Chief Engineer set that MPG target at "relatively modest" 62.9, so that all (or almost all) the car mag...
Hey, great to hear that us L.A. drivers have had a significant hand in the new G3 Prius design. Small wonder. There are more Prius' in CA than...
Would be interesting to know what the average speeds these G3 drivers obtained during their drives, as well as the length of the course they...
Are you a schoolteacher, by any chance?
Why the confusion? I thought everyone that has studied the 2010 Prius transaxle knew that MG2 (the traction motor) operates at a spindle max....
Sounds to me from the description you give that your daughter violently over-corrected several times in generating 3 sideways slides down the...
So true. The power required at any reasonable level of sustained speed being only 1/4 or less than required to provide what we call "good"...
Exactly my thoughts too. The answer must be wrapped up in the economics of gear manufacturing, with which I am totally unfamiliar. But with...
So, if the planetary SRU for MG2 delivers a speed reduction of 2.636, the number of ring gear teeth must have increased by one (to 58) and the...
Your numbers may well be correct. But what are the tooth counts on the SRU planetary unit that give the 2.636 torque multiplication factor?....
Toyota has a University!? No wonder they are way ahead of the pack!
Good reference, thank-you Ken. If the new G3 Prius does share the same transaxle gear-set with the Camry, it appears from the analysis in the...
Bob, clicking on the title as I did would have taken you straight to the source of the document. Mission Zero seems to be some type of news...
Looks like the SAE paper will show up in April, per this reference: Green Car Congress: Toyota Previews Generation III 2010 Prius Hybrid
Any idea when the SAE paper you referred to will be out, Bob, and what it will contain?
