Not yet even a third-generation Toyota Prius was launched, and only two weeks since the launch of authorized mid-May, this hybrid car sold 10,915 units. Take the five-fold from the previous month. How can?

In fact, as some media made in Japan, the phenomenon is at variance with the condition of the economy in the sunrise period was the middle of the crisis, but the order of the next generation Toyota Prius to-3 is increased beyond normal, higher than estimated, that is 80 thousand units.

As anticipated, Toyota Motor Corp. (TMC), plan to increase production numbers to be 50 thousand units per month starting this June. One of the reasons that make people berlalih to hybrid cars that consume as keiritannya in fuel (BBM).

Moreover, this third-generation Prius has been the improvement in the outside, both from the performance and driving comfort. Prius has been using the latest technology from the TMC, which is the Toyota Hybrid System II (THS II).

With this technology, third-generation Prius is able to travel the distance to 38 km / liter fuel. Indeed a number of fantastic and very difficult disamai other cars. While New Prius engine now has more than the previous generation, now a 1500 cc 1.800cc.

Many, indeed profits earned when you switch to hybrid cars. The term used to own hybrid vehicles that combine two or more sources of energy. So actually a lot of people who already have a hybrid vehicle in this context.

For example, mo-PED (berpedal motor bike) has a hybrid character, combining the energy of gasoline engines and power paddle pengendaranya. Basically any vehicle which mengabungkan two or more sources of energy either directly or not it is called a hybrid.



History of hybrid vehicles has started since 1901. In the era of 1990s car hybrid incentive do the various automotive manufacturers worldwide. The reason for the development of hybrid vehicles is a consideration with the meroketnya global oil prices and oil reserves berkurangnnya.

Also factor CO2 caused global warming, so that automotive manufacturers have started to make a hybrid car fuel sparingly, and beremisi low. However, with the Toyota Prius is the car market needs a friendly environment to ensure the performance alias driving performance driving.

Until now, hybrid vehicles have been getting many positive responses both from the government, and society. Although it gets a positive response, it does not mean hybrid vehicle can be easily marketed and in production.

Many challenges that must be passed by both producers and consumers. The challenge is most visible is the high price hybrid motorized vehicles, so not all users are interested to buy it.

Added more models of hybrid vehicles, to the most compact having a certain car, the people who berfinansial high akan usually buy a vehicle with a comfortable high demand. So that they will willingly spent more money for a vehicle with a conventional large-sized hybrid vehicle from the compact.

However, through the Toyota Prius has been the conventional pattern of thinking that, at this time so that people increasingly want to have even a hybrid car, not the more conventional car of bbm fuel or electric cars.

How to work with the engine power regenerative principle (the rechargeable / recharging when the vehicle is being operated) in the hybrid engine, is different with the car full of electricity (plug-in hybrid).



Cars can not be re-fill the electricity automatically. When the electricity runs out, batterai / battery must be charged specifically with the 8 to 12 hours.

Unlike the hybrid engine, electrical engine can recharge the battery to take advantage of energy kinetik when the brake (regenerative Braking). Even some energy from the engine petrol engine / diesel / biofuel when electricity can be channeled to run fill batterai / aki. With an operating system such as this then there will be a saving of fuel.
