In December 1997, TOYOTA put the world’s first mass-produced hybrid vehicle on the market in Japan. It realizes remarkable improvement in terms of fuel economy compared with a conventional gasoline vehicle. It does not need to be charged externally like EVs (electric vehicles). For this hybrid vehicle, we developed two new, highly efficient, compact motors (a motor and a generator). The motor and generator are designed as interior permanent magnet motors, which achieve high output power density by utilizing reluctance torque in addition to magnetic torque. Its motor control system achieves high efficiency by the optimum control of motor current. The structure of the motors has been improved to achieve mass-production and lower costs.
