Hybrid Synergy Drive means that the vehicle contains a petrol engine and an electric motor for power. Two energy sources are stored on board the vehicle: 1. Petrol stored in the fuel tank for the petrol engine. 2. Electricity stored in a high voltage Hybrid Vehicle (HV) battery pack for the electric motor. The result of combining these two power sources is improved fuel economy and reduced emissions. The petrol engine also powers an electric generator to recharge the battery pack; unlike a pure all electric vehicle, the RX400h never needs to be recharged from an external electric power source. Depending on the driving conditions one or both sources are used to power the vehicle. The following illustration demonstrates how the RX400h operates in various driving modes. ❶ During light acceleration at low speeds, the vehicle is powered by the electric motor. The petrol engine is shut off. ❷ During normal driving, the vehicle is powered mainly by the petrol engine. The petrol engine also powers the generator to recharge the battery pack. ❸ During full acceleration, such as climbing a hill, both the petrol engine and the electric motor power the vehicle. ❹ During deceleration, such as when braking, the vehicle regenerates the kinetic energy from the rear wheels to produce electricity that recharges the battery pack. ❺ While the vehicle is stopped, the petrol engine and electric motor are off, however the vehicle remains on and operational. – 1 – RX400h IDENTIFICATION In appearance, the 2006 RX400h is nearly identical to the conventional, non-hybrid Lexus RX 330/350. The RX400h is a 5-door Luxury Utility Vehicle. Exterior, interior, and engine compartment illustrations are provided to assist in identification. Left Hand Side Driver Door Post The alphanumeric 17 character Vehicle Windshield Identification Number (VIN) is provided in the front windshield cowl, driver door post, and under the front passenger seat.

    RAV4 Hybrid Gasoline-Electric Hybrid Synergy Drive AVA4 2 /AVA4 4 S eries Foreword This guide was developed to educate and assist dismantlers in the safe handling of Toyota RAV4 Hybrid gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles. RAV4 Hybrid dismantling procedures are similar to other non-hybrid Toyota vehicles with the exception of the high voltage electrical system. It is important to recognize and understand the high voltage electrical system features and specifications of the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, as they may not be familiar to dismantlers. High voltage electricity powers the A/C compressor, electric motors, generator, and inverter/converter. All other conventional automotive electrical devices such as the head lights, radio, and gauges are powered from a separate 12 V auxiliary battery. Numerous safeguards have been designed into the RAV4 Hybrid to help ensure the high voltage, approximately 244.8 V, Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Hybrid Vehicle (HV) battery pack is kept safe and secure in an accident. The NiMH HV battery pack contains sealed batteries that are similar to rechargeable batteries used in some battery operated power tools and other consumer products. The electrolyte is absorbed in the cell plates and will not normally leak out even if the battery is cracked. In the unlikely event the electrolyte does leak, it can be easily neutralized with a dilute boric acid solution or vinegar. High voltage cables, identifiable by orange insulation and connectors, are isolated from the metal chassis of the vehicle. Additional topics contained in the guide include: • Toyota RAV4 Hybrid identification. • Major hybrid component locations and descriptions. By following the information in this guide, dismantlers will be able to handle RAV4 Hybrid hybrid- electric vehicles as safely as the dismantling of a conventional gasoline engine automobile.

  • A Comparison Study Between Power-Split Cvts and a Push-Belt CVT
    A comparison study between power-split CVTs and a push-belt CVT Pablo Noben DCT 2007.100 Master’s thesis Coaches: ir. T. Hofman dr. P.A. Veenhuizen Supervisor: prof. dr. ir. M. Steinbuch Technische Universiteit Eindhoven Department Mechanical Engineering Dynamics and Control Technology Group Automotive Engineering Science Group Eindhoven, August, 2007 Abstract Since the ongoing discussion about the global warming of the earth, this is mainly attributed to the greenhouse gasses. Which on their part are produced by vehicles, by internal combustion engines to be more accurate. More and more car manufacturers and research institutes are investigating alterna- tives for internal combustion engines. However changing the fuel for vehicles is very difficult because this is a complex collaboration of governments, oil companies and car manufacturers. On top of this years and years of development has resulted in the current infrastructure of the gas stations. A first solution to decrease the fuel consumption of vehicles is to develop hybrid power trains. With a hybrid power train, a power train consisting of two power sources is meant here. Normally this is an internal combustion engine combined with one or more electric machines. The fuel consumption of a hybrid vehicle is lower compared to a conventional vehicle because electric machines can recover brake energy which can be stored in a battery or a similar electrical storage system. Later this electric energy can be used to power the electric machines and assist the internal combustion engine to power the vehicle and herewith decreasing the fuel consumption. To realize a hybrid power train the most commercially successful hybrid vehicle makes use of a power split transmission.
