Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd, the maker of Subaru cars has established Subaru Hybrid Tourer, a gas-electric hybrid car. The Hybrid Tourer concept would be unveiled during the Tokyo Motor Show. Subaru’s unique symmetrical all-wheel drive system and a Lineatronic CVT transmission to promote maximum fuel efficiency are integrated in the Tourer. The team promises that the concept highly involves environmental friendliness, driving performance and safety at a high level with the two electric motors that are embedded in this hybrid car. The rear one propels the car in low-speed acceleration and assists at higher speed with the internal combustion.
Another 10 KW electric drive motor located at the front is copulated with a gasoline engine and also acts as an electric generator to recharge the lithium ion battery pack, based on Subaru’s R1e electric car. As there is no requirement for driveshaft to connect the rear differential to the front-mounted engine, Subaru has managed to keep a flat floor for the rear occupants. Not only is it beauty on the outside, but it packs a wallop on the inside as well. Besides the high-tech powertrain, Subaru’s Hybrid Tourer Concept sports gullwing doors that offer access for both the front- and rear-seat passengers and a dashboard that moves up and down to offer the driver a perfect view ahead.
