Explaining the Honda Accords Shrewdly Designed New Hybrid System ;/features/explaining-the-honda-accords-shrewdly-designed-new-hybrid-system-tech-dept;Inventing elegant solutions to complex problems is a Honda specialty. When the first hybrids arrived in the U.S., Honda beat Toyota to the market, barely, by simply installing a pancake AC motor ahead of the engine’s flywheel. That design, called Integrated Motor Assist, was compact and efficient but didn’t offer pure-electric drive until 2006. Now that hybrids are evolving into plug-in hybrids, Honda has created a new, two-motor powertrain layout that’s also nothing like the intricate CVT-based drive system found in the original Prius and many subsequent hybrids.;2014 Honda Accord hybrid;The secondary AC machine is smaller and serves mainly as a generator, providing the drive motor with electric current to augment or replace juice from the battery during cruising. On cue, this machine starts the engine so it can supply the required torque, but it never drives the wheels.;As in most hybrids, it uses an Atkinson cycle (late-closing intake valves) that sacrifices some low-rpm torque to gain mid-range efficiency. A two-mode variable intake-valve-timing and lift system provides extra power for acceleration and maximum efficiency during cruising.;Not counting the late Fisker Karma, the Honda Accord is the only hybrid without a transmission. Eliminating gear changes improves efficiency.不算入最新的菲斯克·卡玛，本田雅阁是唯一的混合动力没有传输。消除换档，提高了工作效率。 ;Fisker Karma;This hybrid system’s main benefit is improved efficiency. Honda claims its direct-driver has 46 to 80 percent less f-riction than a conventional automatic, depending on the drive mode. Ironically, the one plug-in hybrid that beats it in EPA mileage tests is the smaller and significantly lighter Toyota Prius, rated at 50 combined mpg versus the Accord’s 46 mpg. Unlike the Prius family, though, there’s no rubber-band effect during acceleration with the engine droning at high rpm and ro
