What does a hybrid mean What does a hybrid car mean

It's a car with two types of fuel.

Vehicle hybrid refers to a gasoline-electric hybrid, that is, a mixture of fuel (gasoline, diesel, etc.) and electric energy.

Broadly speaking, a hybrid vehicle (hybrid vehicle) refers to a vehicle whose drive system is composed of two or more single drive systems that can operate at the same time, and the driving power of the vehicle is provided by a single drive system alone or jointly according to the actual driving state of the vehicle.

The so-called hybrid electric vehicle generally refers to the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), that is, the traditional internal combustion engine (diesel engine or gasoline engine) and electric motor are used as the power source, and some engines have been modified to use other alternative fuels, such as compressed natural gas, propane and ethanol fuel.

Hybrid vehicle refers to the vehicle's drive system is composed of two or more single drive systems that can operate at the same time, and the driving power of the vehicle is provided by a single drive system alone or jointly according to the actual vehicle driving state.

The hybrid electric vehicle is generally referred to as a gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle, that is to say, the traditional internal combustion engine, such as a diesel engine or gasoline engine, and the electric motor as a power source, and some engines have been modified to use other alternative fuels, such as compressed natural gas, propane and ethanol fuel.

The electric powertrain used in hybrid vehicles includes highly efficient and reinforced electric motors, generators, and batteries. Batteries include lead-acid batteries, nickel-manganese hydride batteries, and lithium batteries, and hydrogen fuel cells should also be used in the future.

The advantages of a hybrid car are:

1. Compared with traditional cars, fuel consumption is very low because the internal combustion engine always works in the best condition.

2. The main work of the internal combustion engine is near the optimal working condition, the combustion is sufficient, the emitted gas is relatively clean, and there is no idle speed (idle shutdown) at the start.

3. There is no need for an external charging system, and a single charge can solve the problems of driving range and infrastructure.

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 complement each other, and the motor can be used to drive at low speed.

Hybrid electric vehicle is the most industrialized and market-oriented model of electric vehicle, hybrid vehicle uses internal combustion engine and electric motor as hybrid power source, it has the advantages of good fuel engine power, fast response and long working time, and the advantages of no pollution and low noise of the motor, to achieve the best match between the engine and the motor.
