The ICE vehicles are one of the main causes of polluting the environment, the exhaust emissions of internal combustion engines such as hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM), the need for alternate energy methods is greater than ever. Nickel-metal hydride battery (NiMH or Ni–MH).

Moreover, because it is fully integrated into the vehicle’s converter housing, the clutch does not take up any additional space. That’s much less than a conventional NiMH battery with the same capacity, as the weight of such batteries ranges from 180-200 kg.

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.

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. Controlled by the hybrid ECU, the PCU boost converter raises 201.6 VDC up to 650 volts DC.

The new Power Control Unit combines the inverter and DC/DC converter into one unit. 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. The pack comprises 34 NiMH modules, each 7.2 Battery module.
