To further reduce fuel consumption, the eCity Truck platform can also integrate 48-volt technology. The Servotwin enables automatic steering for functions such as lane-keeping assistance and cross-wind compensation. The eAxle is a scalable, modular platform with the motor, power electronics, and transmission form one compact unit.

All the wind farms and solar panels in the world won’t do anything to lower the outflow of hundreds billions of dollars annually or decrease our pump-fueled funding of Islamic fundamentalism unless we build cars that can use that cleaner electricity. Put the bumper sticker and your car and let everyone know.).

Drivers can optimize fuel economy using Eco or Normal modes in Drive Mode Select, or use Shiftmatic in Sport mode to better enjoy a winding road. Package efficiency improvements include downsizing the Power Control Unit (PCU) with a double-sided inverter cooling system. The battery pack is one of the lightest among Lexus hybrids.

It offers the solution to several significant transitions we need: moving society from burning fossil fuels to substituting renewable resource fuels such as solar, wind and biofuels; and from using fossil materials as fuel to using them for other recyclable uses. Distributed Solar and Wind with the PHEV. It is much more than that.

Because the high-voltage battery is both power and energy dense, engineers were able to use the downsized gasoline engine to maximize fuel economy and reduce emissions. Finally, the engineers eliminated the traditional 12-volt battery to reduce weight, instead, utilizing the high-voltage lithium-ion polymer battery.
