Hybrid Electric Vehicle. Hybrid-electric vehicle. Various types of electric vehicles that use another power source to propel the vehicle or generate power for an electric drive train, or a combination of the two types.
Hybrid Electric Vehicles. Hybrid electric motor vehicles may operate using both electric and gasoline-powered motors. Emissions from hybrid electric motor vehicles are also substantially lower than conventionally powered motor vehicles.
Hybrid Electric Vehicle. A vehicle combining a battery-powered electric motor with a traditional internal combustion engine. The vehicle can run on either the battery or the engine or both simultaneously, depending on the performance objectives for the vehicle.
a vehicle that is propelled both by an electrochemical energy storage device coupled to an electric drive and an auxiliary power unit powered by a conventional fuel such as reformulated gasoline, direct injection diesel, compressed natural gas, or hydrogen.
Hybrid Electric Vehicles. Hybrid Electric Vehicles are powered by a combination of battery and fuel. By using less gas, HEVs emit fewer pollutants and receive better gas mileage than standard vehicles.
Hybrid Electric Vehicle - A vehicle that combines conventional power production (e.g. an ICE) and an electric motor. Additional EAA information on HEVs is below.
Hybrid-ElectricVehicle . A vehicle which utilizes an internal combustion engine or fuel cell along with an electric motor propelled by batteries charge by vehicular motion. The vehicle switches between the two modes automatically.
A hybrid-electric vehicle, a vehicle that combines an internal-combustion engine with an electric motor. There are many sub-types of HEV; see other entries on this page with "HEV" or the word "hybrid" in them, or the diagrams on my page about alternative drivetrains.
HEVs (hybrid electric vehicles): Hybrids combine an internal combustion engine with a battery and electric motor, offering the extended range and rapid refueling of a conventional vehicle but with the potential for much higher fuel economy. However, not all hybrids are created equal; some use the technology to increase acceleration rather than boost gas mileage. The UCS Hybrid Center website provides information about and comparisons of current hybrid models.
