The year 2005 was a record-breaking season, as four successive hurricanes caused more than a hundred billion dollars in damage. In 2008, the city of Adelaide in South Australia experienced a heatwave--during autumn. Global warming is becoming a reality harder to deny with each passing day, and this has led consumers everywhere to make more environment-friendly choices. The people at Lexus have noticed.

Famous all over the world for its line of luxury cars, engineers at Lexus have developed a line of cars that will work on the Lexus Hybrid Drive system. Known as a gas-electric hybrid type,Nike Free 7.0 V2 Sort Blå Hvid Sko, these vehicles run on a dual-power source mechanism. This feature of the Lexus Hybrid Drive system utilises the gasoline engine and the electric drive motor simultaneously. This motor supplements the energy from the engine, leading to higher torque and greater power. It effectively mimics the performance of bigger, better engines without the associated fuel consumption.

At the same time,Nike Free 3.0 V3 Blå Grøn Sko, the Lexus Hybrid Drive is built for efficiencyt also includes a generator that converts any excess energy produced by the gasoline engine into electricity that is then stored by the battery; this high-output battery itself comprises of nickel-metal hydride and it has been designed to last for 100,000 miles. The generator works in tandem with Lexus' planetary gear set,chick here, a combination of gears that manage the smooth distribution of energy between the engine and the motor. In addition to these,Nike Free 3.0 V2 Hvid Grå Rød Sko, the system includes regenerative braking.

As can be judged from the name, this mechanism captures the kinetic energy produced when brakes are applied,Christian Louboutin peep-Dame 150mm chaussures rougesvente au rabais, and it converts that into electrical energy, which in turn charges the battery. Lexus Hybrids also features electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (ECVT for short) that differs from other vehicles' transmission mechanisms as ECVT allows a seemingly limitless number of gear combinations. Thus in this way the Lexus Hybrid cars maximises efficiency of the power train.

The whole of the Lexus Hybrid Drive system is monitored and managed by the Electronic Control Unit (ECU),Nike Lav Heels Brown Orange, which keep a check on the driving conditions and manages the car's fuel consumption & power flow accordingly. It reduces wastage while getting the most benefit out of the Hybrid Drive. The final touch to this system is the energy monitor, which presents the driver with important information about the vehicle's power flow and efficiency at a glance, using an intuitively simple graphical format.

The Lexus Hybrid Drive system has faced comparisons with Toyota's revolutionary Prius hybrid vehicle and its drive system. However,Dame Nike Air Presto Le Green Orange Sko, Lexus provides greater power than its hybrid peers and faster acceleration. It also differs from that of its main competitor, Honda. In that,Nike Air Max 2011 Sko Hvid Sort, it uses a gasoline engine with greater capacity and it can boast of greater horsepower as well as higher torque. A major fuel-saving property exhibited by the Lexus Hybrid Drive system is its ability to turn off completely the gasoline engine, whereas the Honda Insight hybrid's system can only disable it.

This gives Lexus a marketing edge over Honda, an edge made all the more important because it is a new entrant to the hybrid car market. The Lexus Hybrid Drive system has its advantages as well as its drawbacks. It is a compromise between luxury and sustainability; true to the spirit of Lexus, the system supports additional features to make the driving experience a pleasant one while ensuring it at the same time as an environment-friendly activity. Its parts provide more horsepower combined with better distribution and that is why Lexus hybrids can accelerate from zero faster than other available cars. It also offers an electricity-only (EV) mode on which the car utilises only the power stored in the battery, producing zero greenhouse gas emissions and burning no fuel whatsoever.

Regenerative braking makes it an excellent choice for driving within the city as it has been designed to improve the efficiency of stop-and-start driving, an inevitability in urban areas; as the energy is supplied back to it, this also helps increase the life of the battery. The Lexus Hybrid Drive system is therefore a durable and long-lasting one. The good news, given that Lexus Hybrids comes with a much higher price tag than other contemporary hybrids,Frauen MBT Kisumu 2 Sandale - 004, The EV mode is limited as it can only go for a few miles as low speeds, but current technology does not support the availability of any full hybrid-only gasoline-independent vehicles to the general public. The Lexus Hybrid Drive behind it all is a promising technology that is bound to get even better with time because as they believe at Lexus, he Pursuit of Perfection?is the goal. 相关的主题文章:
