Toyota Hybrid System; Fuel Consumption Indicators - Toyota 2007 Camry Hybrid Owner's Manual

Toyota hybrid system

Toyota hybrid system combines
power of an engine and a traction mo-
tor to minimize fuel consumption and
emissions.
Depending on driving conditions, the ve-
hicle runs optimally on a combination of
the engine and traction motor.
Since the engine charges the hybrid bat-
tery as needed, the battery does not have
to be charged from an outside source like
an electric vehicle.
