He began his career in 1962 at Lewis Research Center, where he worked on electric propulsion systems.

It represents a new generation of concept car with electric hybrid propulsion where electricity is generated from hydrogen and oxygen (air) in a Toyota designed fuel cell.

Under most operating conditions, the Accord works in the Hybrid mode where the engine acts as a generator and supplies electric power to the battery with power being channelled to the wheels via the electric propulsion motor.

In this type of operation the system works as a «parallel hybrid» where both the gasoline engine and, when required — for instance upon quick acceleration — the electric propulsion motor, both provide power to the wheels.

To attract EV fans, the C - MAX Energi takes things to the next level with a plug - in hybrid propulsion system where drivers enjoy a 20 - mile all - electric driving range, plus 550 miles of range using traditional hybrid power.

Regardless of the driving mode selected, the power generated by the electric motor, combustion engine or the two units together is channelled quickly and precisely to the wheels where it can be converted most effectively into propulsion.
