Kenyans are skeptical when it comes to hybrid cars. But trust me the future is hybrid and electric. Most people spread rumours on what they don’t know about hybrid cars. However here is a small thread on Toyota hybrid cars and what you need to know.

First for Toyota cars, hybrid cars have a blue colour filled in the front and back logo. There is also a logo at the back with the “Hybrid SynergyDrive“ inscribed. This is how you identify toyota hybrid cars. So then what’s an hybrid car.? In simple language, a hybrid car uses

Two/more sources of power to move the wheels. In this set up, the car uses Motor and the Engine fuel. HOW DOES A HYBRID CAR WORKS? The Toyota hybrid system uses a petrol engine and an electric motor. It is a “full” hybrid, which means that the vehicle can be driven using

its electric power alone, as well with the engine and electric motor working together. This makes it different from other “mild” hybrid systems, in which the electric motor only works to boost the performance of the petrol engine.
So here is how it works ....The electricity is

generated as you drive the car, captured from the energy created when you brake or slow down. This power is then stored ready for use in the hybrid battery. A power control unit automatically determines the most efficient power source to use at any moment, whether you are in a

slow moving traffic or on the open road. In stop-start traffic the hybrid system switches to all-electric EV mode to maximise the benefit of driving with zero tailpipe emissions and zero fuel consumption. If battery power runs low, or you increase your speed, the hybrid

engine automatically restarts. In pictures, this is exactly happens. In conclusion, I can say toyota full hybrid technology uses two power sources to power a vehicle – a petrol engine and an electric motor, supported by a powerful battery.

It’s an intelligent system, so it is always working out the most efficient source of power to use. It even stores up extra energy every time you brake or slow down. So you are guaranteed on fuel economy and less noisy driving. I can say that hybrid cars are very reliable and you

Can never go wrong with Toyota Hybrid cars. Toyota has built over 15,000,000 hybrid cars to date. More and more people are choosing hybrid cars. Be informed accordingly and make a WISE CAR PURCHASE DECISION!
