What should you know about Toyota's next hybrid engineering system?

Have you ever gotten behind the wheel of a Toyota hybrid car? It's a great way to not only cut your fuel costs but to also make your day-to-day life significantly greener and more eco-friendly. And we've got good news - things are about to improve even more. Toyota is on the cusp of introducing an all-new hybrid engineering system, and Toyota of Orlando has the details about what this cutting-edge technology will be bringing to the table. 

The new Toyota hybrid engineering system will debut on 2021 cars 

The next Toyota Hybrid Engineering System (THES II) will likely make its way onto our lot in 2021 models - specifically, the new Toyota Venza and Toyota Sienna. You probably remember the Orlando Toyota Venza; this popular crossover was retired 5 years ago, but it's making a comeback in 2021 and will be offered as an eco-friendly Toyota hybrid car. And we're sure you've heard that the 2021 Toyota Sienna will be showcasing a major redesign both inside and out in the next model year, even under the hood - it will be offered solely in a hybrid drivetrain for those who want a family-friendly car that's also environmentally responsible. Both of these new Toyotas will house the Toyota Hybrid Engineering System II. 

However, before we start talking about what future hybrid engineering systems will offer, let's talk about what's currently available. Toyota currently offers a full hybrid system, which means you have both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine working. These two components work together to power the vehicle, but they can also each operate independently. This helps increase efficiency and also cut down on emissions. Other makes may offer different types of hybrid technology, like parallel or series systems. These hybrid systems are less efficient and less clean.

So what will the Toyota Hybrid Engineering System II offer in terms of upgrades? Here's a brief overview of what you can expect at Toyota of Orlando in 2021: 

• New nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion batteries will be introduced into the mix; they're smaller and lighter, which means they can be placed under the back seats to give you more passenger room and more cargo space. 
• A new high-speed combustion technology means these Orlando Toyotas will be both more efficient AND more powerful. 
• A new power control unit has been added that's both smaller and lighter. It additionally lowers electrical loss by up to 10% for a more efficient performance. 
• A new rolling-coil structure, new magnetic steel, a new multi-axis structure, and new wires make for a smaller and lighter motor, which means your Orlando Toyota will be lighter overall.
