Hino (丰田的日野) 的柴油HYBRID在澳大利亚完成全天24耐力测试.

这篇文章介绍 Toyota 已经拥有了非常先进的柴油HYBRID系统, 而且正在测试中.
我想告诉大家的是:丰田很少把没把握的产品拿到市场上来.

The world's first hybrid truck has set a fuel economy standard of 10.9 litres/100km in a 24-hour endurance trial in Brisbane. The Hino Hybrid covered 512 kilometres of inner-city driving as part of the Hino Hybrid Marathon, passing through 2349 traffic lights in an epic of stop-start motoring. It carried a 500kg payload, similar to that which would be utilised by many users, especially in the rental market.

The Hino Hybrid Marathon finished at the Brisbane Truck Show when the vehicle was driven onto Hino's display by rally champion Greg Carr, accompanied by Hino Australia chairman John Conomos AO. Hino launched the hybrid truck at the show and has already made its first delivery of two vehicles to Australia Post.

The Hino Hybrid combines a 110kW common-rail, direct-injection diesel engine with a 23kW electric motor. The electric motor supplements the engine by providing additional power and, most importantly, in conjunction with the battery, storing and using excess energy from the engine and from heat generated during braking.

Hino claims a fuel saving of 20 per cent over conventional vehicles and a reduction in CO2 emissions of better than 25 per cent. A new exhaust catchment and filtration system reduces particulate emissions by 85 per cent.

"The hybrid system was designed to work to its maximum in stop-start urban conditions, and the marathon has proved its effectiveness," Hino Australia chief operating officer Steve Lotter said.

"The Marathon drive team encountered approximately 15 per cent red lights, and each time the hybrid system shut down and restarted the motor, saving valuable fuel and reducing emissions.

"On average, the vehicle was stationary 15 times each hour, but instead of idling and therefore wasting diesel it was able to neutralise fuel use and emissions."
