transportation option ever since! Toyota has actually been working on its Hybrid
Synergy Drive Technology since 1992. Do you know what this means? That Toyota has
over two decades of experience when it comes to developing hybrid and eco-friendly
technology! This experience was recently showcased at the Geneva Motor Show,
where the new Toyota i-Road concept car was revealed. Seemingly designed to cater to
those who are interested in personal mobility vehicles, this unique new vehicle is an
eco-friendly choice for those who want to care for the environment, and aren’t such a
fan of motorcycles.
According to Toyota, the i-Road is about the same size as a traditional scooter.
It has a fully enclosed cockpit that can seat up to two people.
It has unique Active Lean Technology, which enables it to actually calculate how
much the driver would need to lean in order to make a turn.
It has a system that is also supposed to compensate for rougher road surfaces
so its smaller wheelbase won’t create an uncomfortable driving experience.
Toyota foresees this vehicle being an excellent option for drivers who live in dense
urban areas. Needing only the power of a lithium-ion battery, another attractive feature

We’re looking forward to finding out more about the Toyota i-Road concept car at our

Toyota of Clermont explains hybrid technology
Have you ever wondered how a hybrid car actually works? The Orlando Toyota dealer
is our sister store, and it’s possible that you’ve taken in your hybrid new Toyota in for
service with them before. However, if you’ve ever popped the hood on your 2013
Toyota Prius in Orlando from our sister store to do some work yourself, you’ve probably
noticed that the equipment inside is a little bit different from the average gasoline
powered vehicle. This is because cars like the new Toyota Prius near Orlando are a
parallel hybrid. In other words, they operate off of an electric powered motor and
gasoline engine! The electric motor is used to provide initial power, while the gasoline
engine kicks in when greater speeds are needed. It’s because of this refined system
that you’re able to enjoy fantastic fuel-efficiency, and less toxic emissions are expelled
into the environment.
