Reduction Gear

Reduction gear amplifies torque from the electric motors

Highlander Hybrid's HYBRID SYNERGY DRIVE also incorporates the newly developed reduction gear. The reduction gear is designed to reduce the high r.p.m. of the front electric motors so that the power produced can be transferred to the wheels, with the added benefit of torque amplification, i.e. with greater power.
This torque amplification effect, coupled with higher revving capability of the front electric motors, combine to provide seamless acceleration at will.
