Cutaway Toyota Prius hybrid drive train

The EC-140H Cutaway Toyota Prius Hybrid Drive Train is a training system designed specifically for teaching how a typical hybrid drive train operates. The trainer consists of all cutaway drive train components from a Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive system including:

  • ICE (internal combustion engine)
  • Torque damper assembly
  • MG1 (motor/generator #1)
  • Planetary gearset (power split device)
  • MG2 (motor/generator #2)
  • Transaxle
  • Inverter
  • HV (high voltage) battery (non-functional)
The ICE, MG1, MG2 and differential output/drive wheels are driven with external electric motors via connecting chains. This design allows the demonstration of eight of the possible hybrid operating modes. All components are cutaway to allow clear student visual learning.

Educational Advantages

Clear cutaways allow clear student visualization of hybrid drive train components.

Students can observe the eight basic operational modes of a typical hybrid drive train.

Completely safe. No high voltages normally associated with hybrids are used.

Clear protective plexiglass enclosure for all rotating components.

Intuitive control panel/dashboard showing power flow, component speed, and direction of rotation.

Three individual motors for ICE, MG1 and MG2.

Allows students to observe the continually variable ratio function using a simple planetary gear set (power split device) and varying input speeds.
