Two electric motor/generators: MG1 and MG2. MG1, reversible and up to 10,000 rpm, starts the engine and provides counter torque for the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). MG2 provides 50 kW (67 hp) between 1,200 to 1,540 rpm and 400 N·m (295 lb·ft) torque between 0 to 1,200 rpm, contributing to performance and economy. These motor-generators are used as generators when in regenerative braking mode, and as motors are capable of powering the vehicle at low speed (<~30 mph (48 km/h), 41 mph (66 km/h) in NHW20) travel.
