EHCO-CAR ‘PRIUS’

(inside of car)

Cost: 2,150,000 to 2,270,000 yen, so it should be $20,100 to $21,220($US)

Package: Toyota ‘Prius’ thinks height of hip is very important, so the hip point is higher than usual and the height of the door is also higher. It’s easy to get in and out, and it connects to the eye-point. The eye-point is very important for drivers to grasp state around them. The speed meter(#2) is in the middle of the car(#1) because it’s easy to look at. Also, this car has a Navigation system. Have you ever heard this system? It’s like a television. You can watch TV problems and listen to the radio, also this ‘TV’ has a map. This ‘TV’ is connected to a satellite, so you can get the world map from the satellite. You don’t get lost any more. We usually call this ‘TV’ “NAVI”. It’s on the top of the picture. It’s under the speed mater. Blue one.

Hybrid: You already know this. This car has two engines, which are an electric engine and an internal combustion engine. This car emits 1/10 the amount of harmful exhaust. This car is economical. It saves about 50% of the money for fuel. This car cuts emission of CO2 in half. This car doesn’t need an external charge because it generates electricity by engine energy and brake energy.

Ecology: The consumption of air conditioner is low. Green glass with UV cut effect is used, so this glass will absorb solar heat 13%. This car has ‘Recycled body’. Bumper is used TSOP, which can recycle very well. Recycle material ‘RSPP’ is used for soundproof equipment of cars. (RSPP is made by disused car’s shredder dust.)

Safety: ABS, GOA and Air bag. Do you know these things?

ABS When you braked a car immediately, it’s dangerous to lose control of the car. A car which has this ABS system can control the car even if you brake, so you can avoid hitting some objects.

GOA The front of car and back of car is a little bit crushable. When you hit the wall at an accident, the front and back of car is like a cushion and absorbs the shock of the accident. The body of the car is very strong in order to protect humans.

Air Bag When people brake immediately, a cushion comes out from the inside of handle. It means to protect people’s heads, and reduce the shock.
