TOYOTA FUEL CELL VEHICLES

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:27:15 +0000

On December 12, 2002, Toyota Motor Corporation began limited marketing of the hydrogen-powered TOYOTA FCHV (fuel cell hybrid vehicle) in the United States and Japan. Considered to be the closest thing yet to the ultimate eco-car, the TOYOTA FCHV was developed using Toyota’s original hybrid technology—derived from the Prius, the world’s first mass-produced hybrid vehicle—as its core technology.

As R&D on the TOYOTA FCHV continues, the technology that drives it is accelerating toward widespread use. At the same time, we are exploring the potential of a wide range of power sources—including not only hydrogen, but also gasoline, diesel, electricity and alternative fuels—while considering what the optimum eco-car would be for the energy situation, infrastructure and regulations in each country.

Toyota: Reputation in tatters for world N°1

admin — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 20:23:05 +0000

Eight million Toyota vehicles worldwide had to be recalled after a fault was found with accelerators, and detachable carpets kept sticking to the pedals. This time, it’s the brakes on the car maker’s Prius brand that’s causing trouble. The Japanese firm has received dozens of complaints at home and around a hundred from the United States. It’s a particular blow for Toyota – as the world’s biggest selling hybrid car, the Prius is the company’s pride and joy.

171mpg in Prius Plug-in Hybrid Electric (PHEV)

admin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 06:56:24 +0000

The add-fuel light came on yesterday. So I went another 100 miles before I decided to fill up the tank. Total miles on this tank of gas was 1620 miles. The tank took 9.46 gals to fill. This works out to 171.2mpg.

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles

admin — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:54:26 +0000

A video by Plug-in Partners promoting the many benefits of Plugin Hybrids Electric Vehicles. If the current U.S. vehicle fleet were replaced overnight with PHEVs, oil consumption would decrease by 70 to 90 percent, eliminating the need for oil imports and leaving the U.S. self-sufficient in oil for many years to come. Even if the electrical power for those vehicles were drawn from coal-fired power plants, CO2 emissions would drop by more than half. If the power were produced by renewable energy sources, and the fuel in the tank were biodiesel or ethanol, the proposition gets exponentially better.

And you can get 100+ MPG!
