ECO Mode Efficiency Toyota Auris HSD 2011

Specially designed for the European market, Toyota Auris HSD (Hybrid Synergy Drive) has introduced a full hybrid technology for the base model inside the model line-up Toyota. Marking the first step in the spread of technology companies HSD whole range of European style in the early 2020s.

Built in Great Britain at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Burnaston in the United Kingdom, there is a significant change in customer perception of a complete technology hybrid drive.

Prospects Britain – and Europe – the first house track produced hybrid model has been welcomed by the British government. Trade Minister Ian Lucas said: “I am pleased that Toyota has selected European plants of the United Kingdom to produce the first hybrid car from Toyota and I hope to see him when I was in Geneva for the Salon commitment . Toyota to cut emissions of CO2 to give new impetus to our vision to lead England into the design, manufacture and use cars with low carbon “.

Exceed the benefits of exceptional fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions inherent in the Hybrid Synergy Drive, Toyota Auris new HSD will provide day-to-day usability, comfort and tranquility to experience a smooth and sophisticated behavior resembles no other C-segment.

Toyota Auris HSD will be available in two levels: 89g/km and 92g/km, both offering the lowest CO2 emissions and fuel economy the strongest in their class. HSD plays an important role in further reducing Toyota’s all average CO2 emissions of the European fleet. This 14g/km decreased between 2008 and 2009 to 132g/km thanks to the introduction of Toyota Optimal Drive technology.

Exterior design

Toyota Auris HSD adopts new exterior styling introduced in the Auris range 2010 model, including a real-redesigned front end. It also presents a number of models of specific features that improve the aerodynamic efficiency of cars and the presence of reference Powertrain Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive.

Opening the top of the grille has been optimized to promote good air circulation to the body upper and lower grille has been increased to reduce resistance to airflow and increase cooling efficiency of the engine.

With a configuration foglamp revised, flat surface and vertical angles bumper corrected airflow passing over the front wheels, helping to minimize turbulence in the wheel wells.

Other improvements in aerodynamic efficiency is achieved by the ride height reduced by 5 mm; specially designed alloy integrated with the aerodynamic caps, tires with low rolling resistance and a large, roof-mounted rear spoiler. Working together to reduce and control the flow of air over the car, HSD is a special design changes to reduce the drag coefficient of 0.283 to Cd0.290, helping to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Interior Design

Interior is characterized by a number of changes, including revised instrument Cockpit Tachometer which has been replaced by a monitor Eco Drive Assist. Information Center call HSD-panel including other specific information such as flows of energy and eco Results Drive monitors.

A Smart hybrid blue start button has been added to the dashboard and center console switches combine and EV Parking Control, Power and ECO mode, and shift-by-wire transmission lever.

Lighting of the screen turned white numbers on green-blue counters hybrid panel, audio and heating controls, and Smart Start, Drive Mode and Parking Control switches.

A special option for upholstery patterns are also available: blue linen contaminated with Alcantara leather panels around.

Hybrid Synergy Drive

Toyota Auris HSD is a full hybrid capable of operating on gasoline and electric only mode, or a combination of both. Its Hybrid Synergy Drive system providing energy saving qualities of a series hybrid, combined with the performance benefits of parallel hybrids.

The technology offers impressive acceleration very smooth and quiet, with class leading fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of 74.3mpg and 89g/km.

The latest generation Hybrid Synergy Drive from Toyota drivers using 1.8-liter VVT-i petrol engine, powerful electromagnetic motor, generator, battery performance and highest control unit. A distributor device power combining planetary gear systems and allocated back to the power of the engine, motors and generators in accordance with operational requirements of the car.

The key to success in the installation system Toyota Auris platform before the engine is a real electric motors, generators and power splitter device is stored in a single package size of the transmission is a conventional gearbox. Smooth E-CVT transmission electric continuously variable controlled by the shift-by-wire through the shifter.

A lightweight and compact four-cylinder Atkinson Cycle 1798 cc VVT-i engine developing 97bhp at 5,200 rpm and 142Nm of torque at 4000 rpm. High performance permanent magnet synchronous electric motor produces 60kW maximum 207Nm between zero and 13,000 rpm.

Powered by a hybrid battery, the working electric motor with the gasoline engine to boost acceleration for normal driving. When operating a car in EV (electric vehicle) mode engine, the wheel itself.

During deceleration and braking, the electric motor as a generator with high performance and effect of regenerative braking, recovering kinetic energy is usually wasted as heat to be stored electrical energy in batteries.

In combination, the gasoline engine and electric motors produce maximum power output of 134bhp system, indicating the performance of conventional petrol or 2.0-liter diesel hatchback. In contrast, HSD Toyota Auris low CO2 and NOx emissions are significantly lower than the diesel cars of comparable performance.

In addition, while operating in EV mode switchable, reducing CO2 and NOx emissions to zero, resulting in an increase of 1.3 miles (2 km) at speeds up to 31 mph (50 km / h), by level of battery charge and driving conditions.

Toyota Auris HSD eco driving experience

Toyota Auris HSD has four driving modes, including three to choose “on demand” by the driver to maximize the ability of HSD powertrain and provide comprehensive support for eco-driving for those who want to adopt a more friendly style the driving environment.

EV mode allows for ultra-quiet running on electric motor independently, giving zero fuel consumption and emissions. ECO mode to maximize efficiency and fuel economy and power modes improve system performance. In addition, a driver Eco Drive Monitor help maximize the effectiveness of HSD.

The driver can monitor the flow of energy around each mode HSD system through a multi-information display on the dashboard, which helps promote a simple fuel efficient driving techniques. There is also a clear and simple measure of the energy indicates how much energy used or produced at a given time.

Enjoying the tranquility of the inherent Hybrid Synergy Drive, Toyota has paid particular attention to measures to reduce NVH to create a calm and quiet cabin at all speeds. Road and engine noise was reduced by extensive use of sound equipment scrutiny. Glass thickness and full multi-layer acoustic windshield to reduce noise in the exercise calm sailing speed.
