Toyota introduced the world's first mass-produced hybrid passenger car, the Prius, in December 1997. In June 2001, Toyota developed the Toyota Hybrid System-CVT (THS-C). This new hybrid system for mini-vans was mounted on the Estima Hybrid.A new transaxle was developed for the front drive unit of the THS-C system that is compact, lightweight, and highly efficient.
