*도요타 하이브리드 컨셉카 toyota ft-bh hybrid concept

요사이 자동차의 큰 화두는 크린에너지를 이용한 고효율 입니다.

환경을 생각하는 친환경 컨셉카는 다음세대 자동차를 연결하는

브릿지 역활로 하이브리드 시스템을 제안합니다.

이번 토요타에서 제안하는 하이브리드 컨셉카는 자동차의 중량감소, 공기역학적 설계,

파워트레인의 고효율, 에너지 관리의 효율적인 관리와 전력절감을 목표로 합니다.

토요타의 대표적인 소형카 야리스를 베이스로 개발된 하이브리드 시스템은

저중량 2기통,1리터 를 가진 가솔린엔진과 리튬 이온 배터리팩으로 최적의

파워트레인을 구성합니다.

현빈이 광고에서 누구나 하이브리드를 타는 날이 올거라고 하지만

하이브리드는 제 개인적인 사견으로는 다음 운송수단을 위한 브릿지

모델이라고 보는게 맞지 않을까 싶습니다.

the 'ft-bh' concept hybrid by toyota has just been debuted at geneva motor show 2012, intended as an ultralight  B-segment family car that attains less than half the CO2 emissions of the efficient toyota yaris (achieveing 49 grams per kilometer) and a high fuel effiency of 2.1 L / 100km (112mpg).

the low-riding design was developed based on five goals: mass reduction, optimized aerodynamics, powertrain efficiency, thermal energy management, and electricity savings.

measuring 3985mm long by 1695mm wide and 1400mm high (157 x 66 x 55 inches LWH), the body of the 'ft-bh' is composed of steel, aluminum, and magnesium to weigh 786kg (1733lb), a 25% decrease from the yaris. the interior  is based on a stretched fabric design, visible in the panel, center console, dashboard, seats, and steering wheel.

the 'ft-bh' features a full hybrid drive system, with a lightweight 2-cylinder 1-liter petrol engine (atkinson cycle) and lithium-ion battery pack. optimizations in the powertrain include the maximization of combustion efficiency, the use of high fuel-injection pressure, and a larger exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system for reduction of nitrous oxide emissions.

towards the goal of improved thermal energy management, the vehicle adopts a range of electrical and material techniques. the air-conditioning is specially zoned, and waste heat is recycled back into the system. toyota has also reduced the electrical use of the LED headlamps, interior lights, and other components by 50% compared to conventional cars. in terms of the vehicle's construction, the use of lightweight cabin materials naturally offers a high degree of thermal insulation, and the white matte finish of the car likewise assists in thermal insulation.
