How Does i-FORCE MAX Work? | Electrified Powertrains Part 4 | Toyota
Since the introduction of the Prius in Japan in 1997 Toyota’s hybrid electric vehicles have become renowned for their efficiency pioneering electrified Mobility Through The Years new iterations of the Toyota hybrid EV system continued to build on a winning formula like the prime plug-in hybrid EV system and hybrid Max EV now Toyota
Changes the game once again with iForce Max a hybrid EV system for Toyota trucks and SUVs that been designed for towing and off-road use without sacrificing fuel efficiency as part of Toyota’s Beyond Zero vision for a carbon neutral future and more the iForce Max EV system helps make electrification accessible to
All by choosing one of Toyota’s many low and zero emissions Vehicles everyone can help Drive even more electrified miles and help reduce carbon emissions that’s driving change towards a brighter tomorrow and that’s are Beyond Zero vision on Startup a push button start fires up the onboard computers also known as ecus
Which regulate and control the hybrid system once the ecus are on the system main relays ensure that the Hybrid battery Powers up safely and isolated in case of a fault or accident additionally like all vehicles a typical 12volt automotive battery system is equipped on vehicles powered by the I force Max EV
Powertrain which controls the lighting Windows door locks and similar features what sets iForce Max EV apart is how the components are laid out Toyota Engineers place the electric motor between the internal combustion engine and a conventional automatic transmission allowing them to retain the rugged drivetrain components necessary for
Demanding Towing and off-road use like other Toyota hybrid EV systems iForce Max EV utilizes a motor generator that works with the internal combustion engine to drive the wheels as well as regenerate electricity when coasting or braking for maximum efficiency the hybrid EV battery system is electronically connected to the electric
Motor giving it the energy needed to generate the system’s incredible power supplementing the internal combustion engine in points where it may not be at its peak output both sources work together to provide plenty of torque that’s easily accessible making I force Max EV ideal for demanding tasks
Unlike the Toyota hybrid EV system which uses a unique continuously variable transmission the iForce Max EV system utilizes a rugged conventional automatic transmission this setup retains the capability and toughness to handle rigorous driving situations and the same level of gear selection control that drivers would find in a conventional drivetrain retaining the capabilities
Truck owners need unlike other electrified all-wheel drive vehicles in Toyota’s lineup which use an electric motor to power the rear wheels the iForce Max EV system employs a mechanical connection to link the internal combustion engine motor generator gearbox and driven Wheels to achieve that a drive shaft is utilized
Enabling power to flow from the powertrain to the rear wheels furthermore a two-speed transfer case with a low range is Incorporated on four-wheel drive equipped models to handle the demands of off-road use plus a strong rear axle is utilized for towing and Hauling so that’s a quick look at
Toyota’s potent I force Max Hybrid EV system and how it uses electrification to enhance the performance and capability of Toyota trucks and SUVs with iForce Max EV drivers can expect legendary capability backed by Toyota’s reputation for Quality durability and reliability be sure to check out the other videos in this
