Here's a breakdown:
* Gasoline Engine: The gasoline engine is the primary power source, just like in a traditional car. It generates power to move the wheels.
* Electric Motor: The electric motor assists the gasoline engine, providing additional power for acceleration and braking. It also helps reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
* Battery: The electric motor is powered by a battery, which is charged by the gasoline engine and through regenerative braking.
The system seamlessly transitions between gasoline and electric power depending on the driving conditions. This means that Toyota hybrids are able to achieve better fuel economy and lower emissions than traditional gasoline cars.
