Toyota Auris HSD Full Hybrid Concept

Toyota presented in Frankfurt a new concept car equipped with hybrid technology in combination, a genuine world first, because it is the advance of the deployment and launch of the technology HSD in a compact model of mass production in the European market. Their production will take place on the ground that the Japanese have in the UK and its commercial launch is scheduled for the second half of 2010.

Furthermore, the new body design can also mean the verge of a renewed design of the Toyota Auris. Its dimensions are: 4,245 mm in length, 1.760 mm wide, 1,515 mm high with a wheelbase of 2,600 mm.

The Toyota Auris Full HSD Hybrid Concept, presented as a design studio, offers a latest generation technology that combines the efficiency of a combustion engine with Hybrid Synergy Drive system that reduces carbon dioxide emissions significantly.

Combined hybrid drive system
Toyota Auris HSD Full Hybrid Concept has four driving modes, in addition to the familiar ECO POWER and EV. If ECO mode is selected, the system maximizes the efficiency of hybrid and fuel savings. In SRAM mode, the system will power your performance. Finally, the EV mode, only available for vehicles equipped with hybrid technology combined offering completely silent operation thanks to which only the electric motor used for a range of up to two miles at speeds of up to 50 km / h. In this mode, fuel consumption is zero, zero zero CO2 and particulate emissions of nitrogen oxides.

The entire operating programs to help the future owner to conduct an efficient and sustainable driving without sacrificing the benefits as you only need ten seconds to reach 100 km / h from standstill. You'll save fuel and be able to significantly lower emissions of harmful particles below 100 grams per kilometer.

The heat engine has a displacement of 1,798 cc and maximum power of 98 horses. The electric motor is permanent magnet synchronous and CVT transmission is electronically controlled continuously variable gear ratio.

Toyota Auris Concept Hybrid Full HSD does not waive the benefits, accelerating from 0 to 100 km / h in ten seconds and reaching a rate of carbon dioxide emissions below the one hundred grams per kilometer.

In the long term, Toyota will offer a system of photovoltaic cells to recharge the nickel hydride battery hybrid system.

Since silence is one of the main features of the new Toyota Auris Concept Hybrid Full HSD and all models incorporating the exclusive technology, the brand has introduced a number of additional technological solutions to reduce to a minimum noise and vibration from rolling inside the passenger compartment. This has been achieved using last generation materials such as sound insulation glass windows that now are thicker and acoustic windscreen that reduces aerodynamic noise even at high speed.

Optimized
The design of the bodywork has been redesigned on a Toyota Auris 2007 with the objective to minimize drag and make it more efficient in fuel consumption. To this end, the designers have modified the corners of the front and rear bumpers, which are now flat, which minimizes turbulence and resistance, while applications to provide more robustness to the set.

It also has a lowered ride height of twenty millimeters, is fairing panels through the bottom of the chassis and has implemented a new diffuser on the rear bumper that channels the airflow through the floorboard. The wheels are aluminum alloy DE18 inches in diameter and are designed specifically for this model to minimize the turbulence can be generated in the wheel arches. The tires are low rolling resistance and crowning the tailgate, a spoiler increasing efficiency. The combination of all these solutions yields a drag coefficient of only 0.28 x

Photovoltaic solar roof
Toyota Auris HSD Full Hybrid Concept has a sunroof of new technology by photovoltaic cells that capture sunlight and store energy and then power the ventilation system of the vehicle so that weatherize inside preventing the cabin temperature increase in too much.

Interior futuristic
The interior also features photovoltaic cells spread over the dashboard that generate the energy necessary and sufficient to recharge the battery that audio players or mobile phones should only be placed in a bases loaded in the dashboard.

The instrument panel features a light blue color, hue feature and characteristic of the models equipped with Hybrid Synergy Drive, visually relaxing and easy to read. The pedals are made of aluminum alloy and the wheel is new, with flat bottom for easy access to the driver, increasing the legroom and facilitating certain moves.

The lighting sequence includes a courtesy lights integrated in exterior mirrors and ambient lighting exclusively on the floor of the seats and on the inside edges of the roof.
