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

Parallel Hybrid

StarStarStarStar

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

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

Hybrid Vehicle Battery

StarStarStarStar

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

StarStarStarStar

Electric Motor

StarStarStarStar

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

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

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

Energy Management System (EMS)

StarStarStarStar

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

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

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

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

Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)

StarStarStarStar

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

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

Exhaust Heat Recovery System

StarStarStarStar

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

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.
