Hybrid Vehicles

Hybrid vehicles are automobiles that utilize more than one source of propulsion to increase efficiency and reduce emissions. Typically, they combine an internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric motor and a rechargeable battery. The synergy between these two power sources allows for improved fuel efficiency, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and extended driving range compared to traditional gasoline-only vehicles.

Hybrid vehicles can operate in different modes: the electric motor can power the vehicle alone, the ICE can drive it, or both can work together to optimize performance. Depending on the design, hybrids may be classified into several categories including full hybrids, which can operate on just the electric motor, and mild hybrids, where the electric motor assists the engine but cannot power the vehicle alone.

The development of hybrid vehicles aims to address environmental concerns related to fossil fuel consumption and air pollution while providing a practical solution for consumers seeking efficient transportation options.
