When used in combination with a cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system, an Atkinson cycle engine offers significant gains in fuel efficiency and the reduction of emissions. 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.

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. The adoption of a cooled-EGR system reduces cooling loss and pumping loss; with lower exhaust heat, heat efficiency was enhanced and, consequently, fuel efficiency was enhanced as well.

A new water-cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system helps to ensure the lowest possible emissions at all vehicle speeds and helps increase fuel efficiency. By cooling and controlling exhaust gas injected into each cylinder, the system eliminates the need to richen the air-fuel mixture to control cylinder temperatures. ft to 13.1

Toyota’s goal was to reduce the cost, weight and volume of the pack from the NiMH system used earlier. With lower exhaust heat, heat efficiency was enhanced, and consequently, fuel efficiency was enhanced as well. The current Prius had received more wind tunnel hours of testing than any other Toyota in history.
