Green Engineering Final Project: Eco-Cars


Toyota has long been aware of the relationship between vehicle exhaust emissions and carbon dioxide and global warming and urban air pollution. In response, Toyota launched the revolutionary Toyota D-CAT (Diesel Clean Advanced Technologies) concept, which takes emission levels well below Euro IV standards for diesel engines.
The Eco carToyota is proud to have pioneered hybrid (petrol/electric) technology to produce the world’s first mass produced eco-vehicle – the Toyota Prius. The Prius offers Toyota’s innovative Hybrid Synergy Drive, which seamlessly integrates all aspects of the Toyota Hybrid System, from the optimum mix of electric motor and petrol engine to electricity regeneration through the braking system.
Hybrid Synergy Drive enables a vehicle to run, from an emissions point of view, under the most efficient mode, petrol and/or electric. Its greatest benefit for the environment is the generation of up to 89% fewer tailpipe pollutants than conventional internal combustion engines, and 2.5 times the average fuel efficiency of conventional vehicles. Toyota plans to introduce Hybrid Synergy Drive into more of its vehicle products.
