Increasingly, vehicles are facing pressure to improve its environmental performance. Leading the way forward, the 2009 Toyota RAV4 will benefit from Toyota Optimal Drive, a set of technologies introduced in the 2008 Paris Salon to strengthen the management of Toyota in sustainable mobility.
Once the leadership with Hybrid Synergy Drive ®, Toyota introduced the Toyota optimal unit for petrol and diesel powertrains. The concept is simple - to maximize performance, while reducing CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. Toyota unit is designed for optimum:
Increasing fuel efficiency and lower CO2
Do not compromise on driving pleasure
Reduce harmful emissions
Be standard on the model of most new releases
Toyota optimal Drive, engineers have chosen to innovate and develop new technologies, rather than simply reducing the size of existing technology or Detune. Built on the company's legendary "Kaizen" tradition of optimization, Toyota has improved combustion efficiency, lower weight and friction reduction in power to create new engines that produce more energy, but They are more efficient and economical.
Vanguard, gasoline, diesel and transmission technology
Toyota Toyota best new concept will be available on most new models launched since the 2008 Paris Salon onwards. By 2009 this means progress RAV4 petrol and diesel engine technologies, as well as transfers of fuel:
Advanced technology of gasoline in the form of the 2.0-liter engine Valvematic
D-4D diesel engines update
S Multidrive and the latest 6-speed manual 6-speed automatic transmission
Reduce CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of new and powerful 2.0-liter gasoline engine Valvematic
2009 Toyota RAV4 is now offered with an advanced new 2.0-liter Valvematic engine, which also comes with a new 6-speed manual transmission or transmission of the new S Multidrive. His performance gives 158 DIN hp (116kW), a 5% increase compared to the outgoing 2.0 liters VVT-i, 198 Nm at 4000 rpm and leader of the class that began CO2 emissions 177 g / km (S Multidrive transmission, 4WD).
In addition, customer choice in some markets, a Toyota RAV4 with 2WD version 2.0 liters engine Valvematic only the front wheels is being introduced. Ideal for those who do not need 4WD full capacity, its CO2 emissions will be initiated only 174 g / km (6-speed manual transmission).
Valvematic innovative technology
Valvematic is an innovative development of Toyota proved intelligent variable valve timing (VVT-i) integration of a new mechanism that continuously adjusts the intake valves in order to better control the flow of air. This advanced technology helps improve fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions, as well as power, torque and engine response.
Compared to conventional engines control air intake using a throttle valve, Valvematic adjusts the volume of air entering the combustion chamber of a continuous control of valve lift and timing. This ensures optimal performance based on engine speed, thus contributing to the Toyota RAV4 to achieve both high fuel efficiency and dynamic performance. Valvematic valve open longer than necessary to load condition, and therefore increases the rate of injection for optimal fuel combustion.
The technology takes Valvematic four tangible benefits:
Reducing emissions through a more efficient combustion process
Increasing fuel efficiency by reducing pumping losses
The higher increase in power through the inlet valve lift
Best answer engine by reducing air delays
New transmission Multidrive S
Multidrive S is a highly advanced Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). While conventional automatic or manual transmissions use multiple sets of gears and a clutch for different speeds, Toyota Multidrive S offers an infinite number of relationships with two cone shaped pulleys and a high resistance in V-shaped steel belt. With this agreement Multidrive S ratios change smoothly and seamlessly, almost eliminating shift shock.
S offers Multidrive ensure compliance:
It is fuel efficient and CO2. This is because the continuously variable transmission allows the engine to use more efficient engine speed region. The system uses low engine revolutions area gives good fuel economy and low noise.
Delivers powerful driving. Due to its variation with progression of gear ratios, you can also maintain the ideal relationship to maintain the engine in its optimal range of energy.
Incredibly soft and refined, owing to its perfect change of gear ratios.
For a more exciting journey, the driver simply by pressing the "sport" next to the gear lever. This will select a more responsive and able to maximize the relationship that best matches the intent of the driver.
For an even more active driving feel, the S Multidrive has a 7-speed sequential manual mode. The art of selection is done by the gear shift lever or paddle-located on each side of the wheel.
Drivers can also use the paddle-changes to temporarily override the automatic mode. This means that you are still in D-mode, but when preparing to overcome, for example, can cancel the D-mode temporarily to prepare for future conditions. The transmission dates back to the automatic mode by pressing the "+-palette for more than 1 second, when driving at a constant speed, when the constant acceleration over a given period of time, or when the vehicle is completely stopped .
For driving on a mountain regions "uphill" or "down" control logic has been that the selection of the best ratios for the Multidrive S. When driving up the cost will be selected to reduce the number of turns, and when driving down the rates to be selected to make optimum use of engine braking.
New 6-speed manual transmission 2.0-liter engine Valvematic
By setting a higher rank for the new gearbox, the engine speed is reduced, leading to better fuel economy, thereby reducing CO2 (2009 Toyota RAV4 now presents Gasoline a gearbox 6-speed instead of 5 - speed). Fuel economy is improved by reducing friction and drag on the transaxle. Here engineers added an oil separator to decrease the amount of oil removed, and specify the low-friction bearings and low viscosity oil.
Much of the engineering effort invested in improving the sense of change in the new gearbox, and is now one of the smoothest in the compact sport utility vehicle segment.
Despite having six gears, the gearbox is very compact. On the synchronization of Toyota engineers adopted a cradle of high-capacity, declining module teeth and added a corner (one for synchronization and one for the year).
Increased production and reduction of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of 2.2 liters D-4D diesel engines
Another example of optimum drive Toyota can be seen in the improvement of 2.2 liters RAV4 D-4D engine. Here, the challenge was to develop an engine that offers excellent performance and low fuel consumption and CO2.
