StarStarStarStar

Hybrid Drive Control Unit (HDCU)

StarStarStarStar

A computer that manages how and when to use the electric motor and internal combustion engine in a hybrid vehicle.

StarStarStarStar

Series Hybrid

StarStarStarStar

A hybrid vehicle design where the internal combustion engine drives a generator to produce electricity, which then powers the electric motor.

StarStarStarStar

Exhaust Heat Recovery System

StarStarStarStar

A system that uses waste heat from the ICE exhaust to improve efficiency in hybrid vehicles.

StarStarStarStar

Regenerative Braking

StarStarStarStar

A system that recovers kinetic energy during braking and converts it into electrical energy that is stored in the battery.

StarStarStarStar

Electric Motor

StarStarStarStar

A machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, used in hybrid vehicles to provide power to the wheels.

StarStarStarStar

Power-Split Device

StarStarStarStar

A planetary gear set in hybrid vehicles that allows for power to be 'split' between the electric motor, ICE, and wheels.

StarStarStarStar

Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)

StarStarStarStar

A hybrid vehicle with a larger battery capacity that can be recharged by plugging into an external electric power source.

StarStarStarStar

Stop-Start System

StarStarStarStar

A feature in hybrid and some conventional vehicles that automatically shuts off and restarts the ICE to reduce idle time and save fuel.

StarStarStarStar

Energy Management System (EMS)

StarStarStarStar

The system in hybrid vehicles responsible for controlling the flow and storage of energy.

StarStarStarStar

Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT)

StarStarStarStar

A type of transmission that can change seamlessly through a continuous range of effective gear ratios, used in some hybrids.

StarStarStarStar

Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)

StarStarStarStar

A type of engine that generates mechanical power by burning a fuel-air mixture within the engine cylinders.

StarStarStarStar

State of Charge (SoC)

StarStarStarStar

The available capacity of a battery expressed as a percentage of its total capacity; important for managing a hybrid's energy.

StarStarStarStar

Hybrid Vehicle Battery

StarStarStarStar

A high-capacity battery used to store energy for the electric motor in hybrid vehicles.

StarStarStarStar

Parallel Hybrid

StarStarStarStar

A hybrid vehicle where the electric motor and internal combustion engine are connected in parallel to jointly power the wheels.

StarStarStarStar

Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)

StarStarStarStar

A vehicle that combines an ICE with an electric powertrain to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
