FT-Bh concept
An ultra-efficient compact vehicle. A full hybrid 4-seater less than 4 meters long. This concept shows what can be done when every aspect of the car is designed to reduce emissions. In fact it combines full hybrid efficiency, advanced aerodynamics and ultra-lightness. All achieved at a cost-level appropriate for a high-volume B-segment car. With a weight of less than 800 kilos - it doesn't use expensive materials. It is anticipated to deliver fuel consumption of around 2 litres per 100 kilometers. And CO2 emissions are projected at below 50 grammes. That's less than half the current B segment average.What Is a Hybrid System?
A hybrid system combines different power sources to maximize each one's strengths, while compensating for the others' shortcomings. A gasoline-electric hybrid system, for example, combines an internal combustion engine's high-speed power with the clean efficiency and low-speed torque of an electric motor that never needs to be plugged in.
Are All Hybrids Created Equal?
There are several ways in which electric motors and a gas/petrol engine can be combined.Toyota perfected the series/parallel or "full" hybrid to deliver the energy-saving benefit of a series hybrid together with the acceleration benefit of a parallel hybrid. Two key technologies — the power split device and sophisticated energy management — make this possible. They constantly optimize the flows of mechanical power and electric power for safe and comfortable vehicle operation at the highest possible efficiency.
