HYBRID SYNERGY DRIVE

Clearing the world's most stringent emissions regulations

HYBRID SYNERGY DRIVE pursued outstanding fuel efficiency with the goal to reduce CO2 emissions, and also realized a significant reduction in emissions of other substances in its exhaust gas.

For example, Prius sold in the US complies with the world's most stringent regulation, "AT-PZEV (Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle) Regulation" of the State of California of the USA, while Prius for the EU market complies with "EURO-IV" regulation implemented in EU from 2005.*
Highlander Hybrid has also been certified "SULEV" compatible, meeting the most stringent of California's automobile exhaust emissions regulations "LEV II".

All the models equipped with HYBRID SYNERGY DRIVE, including the two models mentioned above, have cleared the stringent exhaust gas regulations enforced in various countries of the world.
