Hybrid-Autos Technology

Hybrid-Autos kombinieren zwei verschiedene Antriebe miteinander. Für gewöhnlich werden ein Benzin- und ein Elektromotor miteinander kombiniert. Bei manchen Fahrzeugen dient der Elektromotor lediglich der Unterstützung des kraftstoffbetriebenen Motors und wird ansonsten als Anlasser und Lichtmaschine gebraucht. Andere Hybrid-Autos werden phasenweise, etwa bei langsamem Tempo im Stadtverkehr, komplett vom Elektromotor angetrieben. Auch Mischformen sind möglich.

In den meisten Fällen geschieht die Zu- und Abschaltung der einzelnen Motoren automatisch und elektronisch gesteuert. Manche Modelle ermöglichen zusätzlich auch die manuelle Zu- und Abschaltung des Elektromotors.

Hybrid-Autos haben im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Autos nicht nur einen deutlich geringeren Verbrauch. Sie setzen auch wesentlich weniger Emissionen frei und stellen daher für umweltbewusste Autofahrer eine gute Alternative dar. Die Emissionswerte von Hybrid-Autos liegen deutlich unter den von der EU geforderten Richtwerten.

Lexsus Car Hybrid SUV - Emissions Environment Friendly

Lexsus hybrid cars are now not only fuel efficient but this Lexus hybrid SUV is a player who can produce the sparkling up to 270 horsepower with front and rear electric motors are collected by front mounted, 3.3-liter V6 is an internal combustion engine. Of course, with exhaust emissions that are very efficient.

EPA emissions rating and an electronic-controlled Continues Variable Transmission (ECVT), Lexus RX400h Hybrid SUV comes in a 186.6-inch length, width 72.6 inches, height 66.1 inches and wheelbase of 106.9 inches.

An SUV Hybrid Perfect Performance

Hybrid SUVs are fast becoming one of the most popular vehicles on the road today. Advantages of electric vehicles is limited, long load times and high costs of maintaining engine power to the battery. Although solar electric cars, which are equipped with solar-charged battery is larger, which is still used in batteries, which are based on the size and weight. Relations with the public, the vehicle must be regarded as a special condition. example perfect of how you can combine new greener technology without compromising power, style and luxury. for a luxury SUV when combined with the electric motor assist the powertrain can deliver an impressive 268 horsepower. The gas engine also has Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence (VCVT-i) which is just a fancy way of saying that the engine can adapt to any driving condition and adjust to deliver optimal fuel efficiency but won’t sacrifice power when power is needed. And all of these fuel saving techniques work as the 400h can achieve a very impressive 35 mpg of combined highway and city driving.

The Lexus RX 450h is equipped with a 3.5-litre V6 engine, which produces 245 bhp but by incorporating a more powerful inverter and electric motors, total horsepower reaches 295 bhp. Two additional systems are added to the RX 450h's Lexus Hybrid Drive power train: an exhaust-heat recovery system to reduce engine warm-up periods, and a water-cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system to reduce engine pumping losses. With the RX 450h Lexus has produced one of the greenest and lowest CO2 producing SUVs, due to its Hybrid system supporting the petrol engine the RX 450h can run on battery power itself in and around town, which means running costs are relatively low too.

Many hybrid SUVs deliver improved fuel economy, but their performance is limited in some way. This hybrid SUV offers a modest (or low depending on your expectations) fuel economy of 17 mpg city, 19 mpg highway. However, it delivers 480 hp and 575 lb-ft of torque. And the SUV can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds.

The new hybrid system will use two electric motors, one to power the vehicle at low speeds with light loads and the other to assist during highway speeds and while towing or on steep hills. The two-mode hybrid provides dependable power on demand seamlessly, and does it more efficiently, the motors are less than fifty percent of the size of single mode motors. It is paired with a Vortec V8 that has a trademarked fuel management system for a fuel efficiency gain of at least 25 percent.

The Ford Escape It is available four cylinder engine is combined with a 65 kilowatt electric motor for a total of 155 HP. It has an electronically controlled automatic variable transmission; rack and pinion steering with electric power assist; and power assisted ABS 4 wheel disk brakes. Fuel capacity is 15 gallons/60 liters and it comes with 16" aluminum wheels a cruising range of 400 to 600 miles.

Sedan Hybrid: Lexus LS 600h L

If solar panels on Al Gore’s 20-room mansion and Vanity Fair’s 300-page annual green issue make you feel queasy about the eco-chic spin on our sustained environmental and energy crisis, then the Lexus LS 600h L might make you feel downright nauseous.

The Top 10 list of why the Lexus LS 600h L is the most bizarre and misguided hybrid:

1. A hybrid powertrain on a 5-liter V8 engine.
2. 430 horsepower (equivalent of 6-liter V12).
3. City/highway mileage rating in the low 20s.
4. 70-percent cleaner emissions than the “cleanest” of its V8 competitors.
5. Noise and vibration levels are about half of conventional cars. (“This is the kind of vehicle that travels slightly detached from the road, the local environment, and anyone else that doesn’t have a near 7-digit income,” writes Art Vatsky in AutoBlogGreen.)
6. Since you can’t hear anything outside the cabin, the vehicle uses two-cameras and a radar system to detect approaching objects and humans. A third camera mounted on the steering column monitors if the driver’s head is turned to the side. If a car, object, or pedestrian gets too close, the “advanced pre-collision system” alerts the driver with a chime and a flashing light.
7. Each vehicle is hand-sanded twice during the painting process.
8. Lexus aims to sell 1,200 to 2,000 units in the U.S. (Is this profitable for Lexus?)
9. Starts at $104,000. (At this price, you could buy four Priuses, keep one for yourself, and give three away as cute gifts).
10. The Lexus LS600h L is an amazing showcase of Lexus’s creativity and technological sophistication—all applied to a vehicle that is completely out-of-step with our times.

If any of our more affluent readers are thinking about the Lexus LS600 L, by all means, have some fun. But don’t kid yourself that you are doing anything to help the world.

Lexus GS 450h Hybrid Sedan

Automobile shoppers can get a taste of the F1 gas-hybrid future today—by driving the new Lexus GS 450h sedan.

While it'll never compare with Formula 1 cars for speed, this gas-electric hybrid provides race-car-like acceleration and luxurious appointments in the same package.

The Hermes of Hybrids
Slip behind the wheel of this $55,000 machine, and "hybrid" will be the first—and last—thoughts that come to mind. First you'll note, with geeky chic, that the car has not a tachometer but a "kW" gauge for—that's right—kilowatts. A display near the 160 mph speedometer shows a battery in various stages of charge. The center console's screen will toggle to hybrid mode and display your energy consumption.

And consume you will. Ever so gently depress the accelerator and the GS will stalk silently to 15 mph on full electric mode. But mash the go pedal, and five Mississippi's later you're passing 60 mph—a fraction of this car's top speed—and looking for gobs of open pavement ahead for decidedly un-environmental antics.

See, the GS 450h is perhaps the purest expression of power harnessed for the "no compromises" side of the hybrid ledger. Toyota mated a high-output, electric motor-generator rated at 197 horsepower with a 297-horsepower, 24-valve, 3.5-liter gasoline engine to yield the Hermes of hybrids, a 339-horsepower brute (don't ask; Toyota wizardry at work here) that motivates this 4,100-pound luxury sedan.

Lexus RX 400h Hybrid

The RX 400h is powered by a 3.3-liter V-6 engine and the latest version of Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive. Front-wheel drive models utilize two separate electric motor/generators, one each at the front and rear axles, working through a continuously variable automatic transmission. All-wheel-drive models add a third electric motor to drive the rear wheels. Combined, the engine and the electric motors together, generate the equivalent of 268 horsepower. The hybrid RX 400h can reach 60 mph in 7.3 seconds, tow up to 3500 pounds, and has fuel economy of 27 city/24 highway for front-drive models. The all-wheel-drive model rates at 26 city/24 highway.

This crossover’s full-hybrid system operates in various modes: gas-only, electric-only, or a combination of the two. Energy is stored in a nickel metal hydride battery that is tucked away under the rear seat of the vehicle. The RX 400h draws solely from battery power while standing, coasting, or accelerating lightly, thereby conserving fuel.

In terms of drivability, this hybrid crossover offers a quick off-the-line launch and brisk acceleration. Even better than that of the gas-powered RX 350. Its performance is well-suited for both city and highway traffic. For those with a careful foot, the RX 400h can reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour on electric-only power.
