WHAT IS A HYBRID VEHICLE?
Any vehicle which combines two or more sources of power.
Examples:Diesel – electricNuclear – electricGasoline - electric
HYBRID STRUCTUREThe two power sources found in hybrid vehicles may be combined in different
ways, either in parallel or series
4
PARALLEL HYBRID• Gasoline motor• Batteries which powers
an electric motor• Both can power the
transmission at the same time
• Electric motor supplements the gasoline engine
5
SERIES HYBRID• Gasoline motor turns a
generator• Generator may either
charge the batteries or power an electric motor that drives the transmission
• At low speeds is powered only by the electric motor
6
COMMON MEANS OF IDENTIFICATION
Motives for Hybrid Vehicles• Overcome energy storage (range) and
power (fuel rate) problems.• Good designs yield double the fuel
economy.• In principle, it might be possible to triple the
fuel economy.• The overall efficiency is similar to thermal
electric power plants.• Exhaust emission management is
simplified.
ADVANTAGES OF HYBRID CAR
* ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY:- RUNS ON TWIN POWERED ENGINE THAT CUTS FUEL CONSUMPTION AND CONSERVE ENERGY.
*LESS DEPENDENCE ON FOSSIL FUELS:-IT IS MUCH CLEANER AND REQUIRES LESS FUEL TO RUN.
*BUILT FROM LIGHT MATERIALS:- MADE UP OF LIGHT MATERIALS WHICH MEANS LESS ENERGY.
*REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM:- EACH TIME YOU APPLY BRAKE WHILE DRIVING HELPS YOU TO RECHARGE YOUR BATTERY A LITTLE.
DISADVANTAGES*LESS POWER
*CAN BE EXPENSIVE*POORER HANDLING
*HIGHER MAINTENANCE COSTS
