What is Toyota Hybrid Technology?
Vehicles that operate on hybrid technology combine the benefits of electric motors and gasoline engines to provide optimal performance and fuel efficiency. The electric motor produces regenerative braking, which is a process that applies stiff resistance to the drivetrain. Resistance to the drivetrain causes the wheels to slow down and the energy created from the wheels stores within the battery for future use by the electric motor. The electric motors under the hood of hybrid vehicles produce additional power for acceleration and climbing the steep hills surrounding landmarks such as Lookout Mountain. Electric power allows Toyota engineers to create smaller gasoline engines that do a better job of conserving fuel.
