We often hear the term hybrid car when people are talking about electric vehicles but what exactly is a hybrid vehicle?
These vehicles basically combine the electric motor with a combustion engine where the electric motor is used to assist the combustion engine when accelerating and at low speed driving.
The [B]parallel hybrids[/B] see both types of motor working together.
The [B]series hybrids[/B] are built so that the electric motor powers the wheels while the combustion engine powers a generator alongside the batteries.
[B]Twin drivetrains[/B] are perhaps the least known but in these vehicles two of the wheels are powered by a combustion engine and two are powered by an electric motor. This gives the driver the option to chop and change between these two types of motor.
