The PHEV does not require the heavy, costly batteries required by other electric cars, nor does it suffer from a limited range or poor freeway performance. Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars.

This AOI is to address two major technical gaps in the performance of automotive aluminum alloys: Low strength among cost competitive automotive sheet alloys such as 5xxx and 6xxx series. High cost of high-strength aluminum alloys such as high performance 6xxx and 7xxx series. Carbon Fiber Composite Targets.

The fueling process is fast and easy and a FCEV operates exactly like a gasoline-powered car, but with no noise, exhaust fumes or emissions. Through a chemical process, electricity is created to power the motor and charge the lithium-ion battery (in Toyota’s case, not all FCEVs use battery storage). A gasoline-like experience.
