betul, prius gen3 yg baru dirilis memang belum plug in tapi rencananya di tahun 2010 prius gen 3 ini udah ada versi plug in-nya (kayaknya bakal keluar hampir berbarengan dengan Chevy Volt)
Versi plug in cuma akan dijual sbg commercial fleet pak utk perusahaan2 besar di jepang / amrik yg mau byr leasing disponsori toyota. Tdk dijual ke konsumen umum.
Denger2 sih gitu.....di tahap2 pertama Prius Plug In (PPI) ini akan dijual sbg kendaraan operasional pemerintah/perusahaan2 dulu, tapi IMO pasti akhirnya bakalan dijual ke umum. Apalagi kalo kompetitor terdekatnya (GM) berhasil dengan Chevy Voltnya (Denger2 jg katanya GM bakal aplikasi teknologi plug-in ini di Saturn Vue atau Chevy Captiva kalo di Indo).
Rumornya jg toyota mao tunggu sampe teknologi batere Lithium Ionnya mature dulu sebelum jual PPI ke umum makanya diuji coba ke mobil2 fleet dulu. Sekarang ini mobil2 hybrid masih pake Nickel metal hydride batere.
Toyota USA jg sekarang lagi gila2an mao kasi image bahwa produknya punya fuel economy yg bagus.......rumornya sebentar lagi kayaknya mao luncurin toyota sequoia dan tundra versi diesel
kalo kondisi di indo memang niat("bisa dibikin") meramaikan mobil "plug-in hybrid", yg pasti PLN kewalahan...or pertamina related yg kebakaran jenggot...
Di Bandung gw pernah liat 2 Prius berseliweran di jalan. Warna hitam dengan velg custom dan warna silver standar. Yang item gw liat pas lewat jalan Cipaganti dan yg silver gw liat diparkiran mall PVJ.
Waktu jalan2 ke Jakarta pernah liat mobil test-drivenya Prius di tol kota (body samping ditempel stiker hijau yg identik dgn ramah lingkungan).
Kalau di US mobil Prius Hybrid ini udah meraja. Sampai2 artis papan atas jg pada pakai Prius. Di tabloid Oto pernah dibahas artis2 yg pakai Prius Hybrid.
You might have heard the term "Atkinson cycle" associated with hybrids. There, unorthodox valve timing of the gasoline engine trades away a little power for enhanced efficiency. It's just the thing for optimal interaction of a hybrid's gasoline engine and electric motor. In fact, the Toyota Prius, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Tahoe and other hybrids claim Atkinson operation.
In fact, these are only simulated Atkinsons. The real Atkinson cycle displays differences in piston travel, the intake and compression strokes are actually shorter than the subsequent expansion and exhaust strokes.
This video displays a neat cutaway of Honda's experimental Extended-Expansion General Purpose Engine, a single-cylinder powerplant intended for portable generators, lawn mowers and the like. Key to its operation is a multiple linkage of the engine's connecting rod and crankshaft. Like the original Atkinson "Cycle," circa 1886, its intake and compression strokes are shorter than those of expansion and exhaust. Thus, as well, there's a difference in displacement: 135.2 cc for intake/compression; 203.6 cc for expansion/exhaust. Compression ratio is 8.5:1; expansion ratio, 12.3:1, and one result of this is a 20-percent improvement in fuel efficiency.
