Toyota 48V: Hybrid heavyweights in a changing world

Toyota’s global mandate to lower overall emissions via a multi-technology approach sees the venerable Hilux and popular Fortuner package receive their timely respective doses of hybridisation.

“Customers, not regulations or politics, should decide on what path to rely on in terms of the common goal of lowering CO2”, stated Toyota. Capable of delivering up to 12kW and 65N.m of additional power and torque to the vehicle’s powertrain, this 48V motor/generator replaces a conventional alternator within the engine’s packaging. Powered by a battery housed below the rear passenger seat, this system also incorporates a DC-DC converter to supplement the workings of the vehicle’s other 12V componentry, thus improving overall efficiency.

The 48V battery weighs just 7.6kg and is recharged on the move via energy harnessed from the regenerative braking system.
