According to a report by Drive<\/em>, the upcoming Toyota Hilux with a 48-volt electrical system will not feature the term \u2018mild hybrid\u2019 or the word \u2018hybrid\u2019 in its marketing material. Instead, the 48-volt electrical system could be dubbed \u2018Toyota Kinetic Assist’ based on a recent trademark filing spotted by the Australian automotive news portal.<\/p>\n During a media briefing in Australia, Toyota executives said the \u201cmild hybrid\u201d system for the Hilux is largely an expanded vehicle electrical system and lacks the electric driving capabilities to be labelled a hybrid, unlike the Prius. Curiously, the Hilux MHEV (Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle) concept that was at this year\u2019s WRC Safari Rally in Kenya had \u2018HYBRID\u2019 on its body.<\/p>\n “Most of you have called it a mild hybrid. We don’t, and there’s a reason we don’t. In the Toyota world, hybrid refers to a system where the engine and the electric motor can both propel the vehicle either together or independently. That’s not the case with the electric motor for the 48-volt system,\u201d said Toyota Australia sales and marketing boss Sean Hanley.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As announced by Toyota previously, the 48-volt system for the Hilux consists of a battery, small electric motor-generator and other supporting components. These will be applied to the existing 2.8 turbodiesel four-cylinder engine with a six-speed automatic transmission to improve fuel economy by approximately 10%, while preserving existing capabilities \u2013 the Fortuner is also slated to get this electrified powertrain.<\/p>\n <\/center><\/p>\n “It (the 48-volt system) can power the car’s steering, pump and fans, and it supports the fuel-saving stop\/start operation, keeping the electrics firing and handling the load of the climate control,” explained Hanley.<\/p>\n “The system recharges while you’re driving, recovering and storing kinetic energy from braking, and it facilitates smoother and quicker start and take off once the brake pedal is released [for the stop\/start system],\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Looking to sell your car?
