This paper intoroduces a minivan with a newly developed hybrid system known as THS-C (Toyota Hybrid System-CVT). This hybrid system employs a highly efficient engine, a high performance exhaust emission control system, a super efficient CVT with metal belt, and a super efficient motor. System control of the engine, motor and CVT optimizes both the operations of the motor and the engine. With these improvements, this new vehicle achieves over 80% better fuel economy than the original vehicle and decreases drastically exhaust emission using precision control when the engine starts and stops.
