How Toyota is hybridizing the automobile in an efficient and affordable way to increase America’s energy diversity is the topic of “Pathway to Sustainable Mobility,” a presentation by Justin Ward, advanced powertrain program manager for Toyota’s Gardena plant. The April 28 program is the last in a series of seminars on the subject co-sponsored by Cal State Fullerton, its Mechanical Engineering Department; UC Irvine; SAE International; and General Motors Advanced Technology Center.

Toyota believes that hybrid vehicle technology is a key enabler for sustainable transportation systems and plans to offer vehicles with a number of advanced powertrains. Engineers are addressing the remaining technical hurdles for such advanced powertrains, according to Ward, who will bring a hydrogen-powered hybrid vehicle, the Toyota HCHV-adv, to the presentation.
