Like other Toyota models, the Prius also gets the Toyota Safety Sense suite of driver-assistance features (including adaptive cruise control and a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection) as standard equipment. The current-generation Toyota Prius is also appreciably more enjoyable to drive than previous models, thanks to changes like a lower center of gravity and a more sophisticated double-wishbone independent rear suspension system. Toyota’s designers managed to do that while maintaining a roomy cabin and useful hatchback shape. The Prius also achieves a very low drag coefficient of 0.24, meaning it has fairly low aerodynamic drag, which helps improve efficiency. That’s thanks to Toyota’s tried-and-true Hybrid Synergy Drive system and a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that achieves a 40% thermal efficiency, which is much higher than most engines. The Prius is the most fuel-efficient hybrid around, getting an EPA-rated 56 mpg combined in Eco trim. Toyota’s best-selling hybrid continues to prioritize fuel economy above all else, and though efficiency is its main goal, the Prius doesn’t ask buyers to make any major compromises - except maybe in the styling department. The name “Prius” is synonymous with “hybrid,” and for good reason. Who’s it for: Anyone who hates visiting the gas station. Why you should buy this: The Prius continues to define the hybrid category in almost every way. Best AWD/4WD hybrid: Ford F-150 PowerBoost.Best hybrid minivan: Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid.Best hybrid performance car: Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid.Best hybrid SUV: Land Rover Range Rover P400e.If you don’t want to see it in your driveway, however, there are other great options ranging from a rugged pickup truck to a luxury car that’s equally at home on the road and on the track. It’s efficient, it’s spacious, and it’s relatively affordable. If you’re in the market for a hybrid car, the Toyota Prius is the best one. Because of its versatile design, the F28 is suitable for rental applications, such as material handling equipment including telehandlers, aerial lifts, scissor and boom lifts stationary operations, including air compressors, welders and pumps as well as chippers, grinders and trenchers.Īlong with the F28 unit, FPT Industrial exhibits at the show a comprehensive offering for compact equipment including the F34 model.įPT Industrial exhibits in the Bronze Lot, stand B7700. The F28 engine, unveiled in November 2019, is available in diesel, natural gas and now the hybrid version. The show in Las Vegas represents the commercial launch of the F28 engine in North America and its availability for the construction segment, in addition to being suitable for agriculture machinery. “This engine highlights our commitment to alternative propulsion and demonstrates our engineering abilities with its efficiency and compactness advantages.” “Our vision for the powertrains of the future includes some of the main features of the new F28 Hybrid,” said Pierpaolo Biffali, vice president of Product Engineering at FPT Industrial. The integration of the engine’s hybrid architecture is based on FPT Industrial’s proprietaryĬontrol software. It also features enhanced system efficiency, simple architecture, fast operation and optimized Start & Stop for a smoother engine start. It is suited for light construction machines such as skid steer loaders, drum rollers and backhoe loaders.Īccording to FPT Industrial, the F28 Hybrid combines high performance and low fuel consumption in a compact packaging. With four in-line cylinders, the thermal engine delivers a maximum power of 74 hp (55 kW) at 2500 r/min, while the electric motor adds 27 hp (20 kW) of continuous power and 40 hp (300 kW) of peak power. The company said, the 2.8-liter hybrid engine was developed to offer the ideal performance for compact machinery offering enhanced productivity and improved efficiency. FPT Industrial unveiled at ConExpo-Con/Agg & IFPE the F28 Hybrid diesel engine paired with an e-flywheel: an efficient and compact solution for off-road applications.
