TOYOTA HYBRID System - Racing: Welcome to the Hybrid Revolution
Veröffentlicht am 18.06.2013
At the heart of the TOYOTA Racing TS030 HYBRID challenging in the FIA World Endurance Championship is our innovative TOYOTA HYBRID System -- Racing. The hybrid technology has been developed especially for racing and is part Toyota's R&D activities for the future.
The powertrain consists of a 530hp v8, 3.4litre, normally-aspirated petrol engine combined with a 300hp hybrid system. Under braking, in the designated hybrid recovery zones, the system harvests energy which is converted into electricity by the Motor Generator Unit (MGU), located between engine and gearbox, within the gearbox housing.
This electricity is transmitted, via a DENSO inverter, into the NISSHINBO super capacitor storage device, sited next to the driver in the cockpit. When the driver accelerates, the hybrid boost is delivered automatically for around three seconds, with the electricity travelling from the super capacitor, through the inverter and into the MGU, which adds the power to that of the petrol engine and transmits it to the rear wheels.
