A new nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) battery is used with a revised construction and more compact cooling system that allows for smaller dimensions overall. Precise adjustments were made to the lamps’ curved profile, with each change evaluated and verified in wind tunnel and real-world driving tests.

liter, 98 hp (73 kW) engine, 60 kW traction motor, and NiMH battery pack, the car will accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in around 10 seconds, while returning what Toyota calls class-leading combined cycle fuel economy and sub-100g/km CO 2 emissions. Sales are scheduled to start during second half of 2010. Equipped with a 1.8-liter,

Bi-polar lead-acid batteries approach the storage densities of NiMH, but at lower cost. But bi-polar battery packs also have the potential for use in telecommunications, providing uninterrupted power supplies, stationary power and renewable energy power storage, both solar and wind applications.

The electric motor has been made smaller through the optimisation of the magnet material, and the winding of the coils with flat, rather than round, wire. The new, downsized full hybrid powertrain also features a smaller, NiMH battery with a more efficient management system.

Ah NiMH battery and a variable-voltage system in which a boost converter boosts the operating voltage of the system to a maximum of 520 V DC. While distributed windings often deliver excellent performance, they can be bulky as well as costly to build. The NiMH pack in the Liftback is 201V.) Maximum hybrid system output is 73.6

This performance increase of the three-phase synchronous motor is attributable to a modified number of windings on the coils and an increased voltage level. kWh, it offers five times the storage capacity of the NiMH battery in the previous conventional hybrid model, yet it does not require any additional installation space.
