Default The First Hybrid Synergy Drive

News from theautochannel.com about the Toyota Mobile Hybrid was released early this morning and the Road Team Spokesman Mark Ulbrich talks about his rare experience with the new Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive. The Toyota Motor Corporation also hopes that the participants and the drivers were able to get learning skills from the event.

The Auto Channel has the news on their site. There are four distinct interactive learning areas within the exhibit:

* "Alternative Fuels: Fueling the Future," identifies the differences in the various types of alternative fuels and how they are produced.
* "Environment and Resources: Small Steps, Big Difference," shows attendees what they can do to make a difference to the environment.
* "The Prius Driving Experience" simulates the current Hybrid Synergy Drive technology allowing visitors to interact with system while on-screen instructions offer driving tips.
* "Hybrid Technology: Not All Hybrids are Created Equal" exhibit gives visitors a better understanding of the various hybrid technology options on the market and how hybrids benefit the consumer and the environment.



The event started last January at the San Jose International Auto Show were most of the events are seen including Spring of 2008. Customers were given the privilege to drive Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive system.

"Most people have heard of hybrid technology and probably have a vague idea of how it works, but few have actually driven a hybrid and or taken an up-close look at its operation. This tour allows consumers to learn more about the technology behind this system and the benefits of hybrid vehicles,” Celeste Migliore, the Toyota's National Manager, Advanced Technology Vehicles, said.
