HYBRID ENGINE
DefinitionDefinition
• Hybrid Engines are typically described as engines
with two power sources.
• A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a type of 
hybrid vehicle and electric vehicle which
combines a conventional internal combustion
engine (ICE) propulsion system with
an electric propulsion system.
Why Hybrid ElectricWhy Hybrid Electric
Vehicles?Vehicles?
Electric MotorElectric Motor
• Lots of torque
• Zero emissions
• Tax breaks
• No transmission needed
• Starts more efficiently
– Can turn off motor when you stop
GasolineGasoline
• Higher energy density than batteries
– 1,000 pounds of batteries = 1 gallon
(7 pounds) of gas
• Cheaper initial cost for car
– Hybrids are $3500-5000 more
• Reliable, more history
Advancements in hybridAdvancements in hybrid
powertrainspowertrains
• Hybrid electric vehicles can be classified
according to the way in which power is supplied to
the drivetrain:
PARALLEL HYBRIDS:
• In parallel hybrids, the ICE and the electric
motor are both connected to the
mechanical transmission and can simultaneously
transmit power to drive the wheels.
•  Usually parallel hybrids can use a smaller battery
pack as they rely more on regenerative
braking and the internal combustion engine can
also act a generator for supplemental recharging.
• Parallel hybrids are more efficient for highway
driving than in urban stop-and-go conditions.
PARALLEL HYBRID
• ADVANTAGES :
• ICE DIRECTLY CONNECTED
TO WHEELS
• ELECTRIC MOTORS AND
GEAR BOXES PRESENT
• DISADVANTAGES :
• ICE AND MACHINES MUST
BE MOUNTED TOGETHER i.e
LESS FLOOR SPACE
• E.G HONDA CIVIC HYBRID
SERIES HYBRIDS:
• In series hybrids, only the electric motor drives
the drivetrain, and the ICE works as
a generator to power the electric motor or to
recharge the batteries.
• The battery pack can recharged from
regenerative braking or from the ICE.
• Series hybrids usually have a smaller combustion
engine but a larger battery pack as compared to
parallel hybrids, which makes them more
expensive than parallels. This configuration
makes series hybrids more efficient in city
driving. 
• ADVANTAGES :
• ICE RUNNING MOSTLY AT
OPTIMAL SPEED AND TORQUE
• ICE CAN BE TURNED OF IN
ZERO EMISSION
• LOW FLOOR POSSIBLE
• LOW FUEL CONSUMPTION
• HIGH FUEL EFFICIENCY
• DISADVANTAGES :
• MORE SUITABLE FOR CITY
DRIVING
• MANY ENERGY CONVERSIONS
i.e ENERGY LOSS
• E.G CHEVROLET VOLT
SERIES – PARALLEL
HYBRIDS:
• Series-parallel hybrids have the flexibility to
operate in either series or parallel mode.
• They are more efficient overall, because they can
operate as a series hybrid at lower speeds and as
parallel at high speeds, but their cost is higher
than a pure parallel.
