Taken from: About the CAMRY: The CAMRY hybrid sedan joins the PRIUS and HIGHLANDER hybrid as a hybrid model for Toyota. Hybrid Synergy Drive means that the vehicle contains a gasoline engine and an electric motor for power. The two hybrid power sources are stored on board the vehicle:
The result of combining these two power sources is improved fuel economy and reduced emissions. The gasoline engine also powers an electric generator to recharge the battery pack; unlike a pure all electric vehicle, the CAMRY hybrid never needs to be recharged from an external electric power source.
