Brief Explanation

The ad was shot in a single take and uses no special effects or post production. The ad launched Toyota's latest hybrid engine, Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) with the goal of humanising the technology to the mainstream car market. HSD combines a petrol enguine and an electric motor for greater efficiency. Two things working in harmony are inevitably better than one. HSD Better Together.
