Nathan Kokes, a spokesman for Toyota, announced that the production of the current generation of the Prius Plug-in Hybrid will stop in June. The Japanese company is already working on the new generation of the car, which will be released in the second half of 2016 as a 2017 model.
Toyota announced last December that the new Prius will have a new design that will be more sophisticated, to target younger buyers.
The new Prius, will have parts that have already been tested in the racing TS040 Hybird, including microchips microcontrollers, supercapacitors, that are selected because they are highly effective in both the storage of the energy produced during braking and in the immediate redistribution, during acceleration of the vehicle, while they also increase the efficiency of the hybrid system by 10%.
