Re: I wonder if the model is off a bit or whether
Toytota sacrificed efficiency for reduced engine wear and a quieter
cabin.
Or less complexity and less cost.
Anyway, these are interesting results. A sun gear lock, along with Graham's two step transmission might result in a much peppier yet even more efficient vehicle. I think hybrid technology is still in its youth, leaving lots of room for further improvement.
