Priora 2.0
The Priora 2.0 is an experimental concept car built around the Toyota Prius, one of the first mass-produced and marketed hybrid electric vehicles.
The 2004 Prius model is certified as an Advanced Technology Partial zero-emissions vehicle (AT-PZEV).
The Prius is a series-parallel configuration hybrid, a vehicle that can run on just the engine, just the batteries, or a combination of both. Toyota's design goals are to reduce the amount of pollution and to maximize fuel efficiency. To do this, it uses a gasoline/electric hybrid powertrain, incorporating large batteries that are charged by the gas (petrol) engine directly or by regenerative braking (cannot be plugged in as built). Either the engine or the battery (or both) can power the vehicle, depending on conditions. This gives it the acceleration and power of a standard car having a much larger gasoline-burning engine.
