Toyota has released a new video detailing a 48-volt mild hybrid system that will be applied to the company\u2019s turbodiesel engine, with the Hilux and Land Cruiser Prado set to be early adopters. Based on the hashtags in the video caption, the Fortuner will also benefit from the mild hybrid system.<\/p>\n

Though not explicitly mentioned in the video, Toyota has already said that the 1GD-FTV 2.8 litre inline-four turbodiesel in the Land Cruiser Prado will come with the 48-volt mild hybrid system in selected markets in Western Europe as well as Australia. The 1GD-FTV also powers the current Hilux and Fortuner, with Toyota claiming 10% better fuel economy with electrification.<\/p>\n

The mild hybrid system developed by Toyota is similar to those by other carmakers and features three main components, including a belt-driven electric motor-generator that replaces the conventional alternator, a 48-volt battery as well as a DC-DC converter.<\/p>\n

The Japanese carmaker is keen to point out the differences between the mild hybrid system and Toyota Hybrid System II (THS II), with the latter consisting of two motor-generators and a power split device. As the mild hybrid setup is compact and more lightweight, the company says its can be fitted to existing powertrains.<\/p>\n
