This document discusses hybrid engine technology. It defines a hybrid engine as having two power sources, with a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) combining an internal combustion engine and electric motor. There are three main hybrid powertrain types: parallel hybrids where both power sources directly power the wheels, series hybrids where only the electric motor powers the wheels and the engine charges the batteries, and series-parallel hybrids that can operate in either mode. Advancements allow hybrids to be more efficient in both urban and highway driving. The future expects more widespread adoption of hybrid vehicles in India.
