Active Cooling System
Toyota hybrids use a sophisticated cooling system to maintain optimal performance and longevity of key components.
​
-
Engine Cooling – Like conventional vehicles, the engine is cooled using a radiator and liquid coolant to regulate temperature and prevent overheating.
-
Inverter Cooling – The hybrid inverter, which manages power conversion between the battery and electric motor, has a dedicated liquid cooling system with its own radiator to ensure efficiency and reliability.
-
Battery Cooling – The hybrid battery pack uses an active air-cooling system with a built-in fan that pulls air from the cabin or external vents. Additionally, temperature sensors continuously monitor battery heat levels, allowing the system to adjust airflow as needed to maintain an optimal operating temperature and protect battery life.
These cooling systems work together to enhance performance, fuel efficiency, and long-term durability in Toyota hybrid vehicles.
