What is the meaning of hybrid vehicle?

A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle in which the drive system consists of two or more individual drive systems capable of operating simultaneously, and the driving power of the vehicle is supplied by the individual drive systems individually or ****simultaneously, depending on the actual state of the vehicle.

Hybrid vehicles are often referred to as hybrid vehicles, which means that a conventional internal combustion engine, such as a diesel or gasoline engine, and an electric motor are used as the power source, or the engine is modified to use other alternative fuels, such as compressed natural gas, propane, and ethanol fuels.

Hybrid vehicles use an electric powertrain that includes a highly efficient and enhanced electric motor, a generator, and a battery. The batteries used are lead-acid, nickel-manganese-hydride and lithium batteries, and in the future, hydrogen fuel cells should also be used.

The advantages of hybrid cars are:

1. Compared with conventional cars, fuel consumption is low because the internal combustion engine is always working at its optimum condition.

2, the internal combustion engine mainly works near the optimal working condition point, the combustion is full, the emission is cleaner, and there is no idling at the start (idling stop).

3, no need for external charging system, a charge can solve the range, infrastructure and other issues.

4, the miniaturization of the battery pack makes the cost and weight lower than that of electric vehicles.

5, the engine and motor power can be complementary, low-speed can be driven by the motor driving.

Hybrid cars are the most industrialized and marketable models of electric cars. Hybrid cars use internal combustion engines and electric motors as hybrid power sources, which have the advantages of good power, fast response and long working time of fuel engines, and the benefits of non-polluting and low-noise electric motors, and achieve the best match between the engines and electric motors.
