A hybrid vehicle has multiple forms of motive power, and can come in many configurations. For example, a hybrid may receive its energy by burning gasoline, but switch between an electric motor and a combustion engine. A typical powertrain includes all of the components used to transform stored potential energy. Powertrains may either use ...
Schematic diagram of updated rear-wheel Hybrid Synergy Drive transmission (L210/ L210F) A simplified version was released in 2012 with the fourteenth generation Crown (S210) ; the L210 transmission omits the two clutches but retains the second planetary gearset (MSRD) applied to the output of MG2, in common with other Generation 3 transaxles.
In a power-split hybrid electric drive train, there are two motors: a traction electric motor and an internal combustion engine. The power from these two motors can be shared to drive the wheels via a power split device, which is a simple planetary gear set. The ratio can be from 100% for the combustion engine to 100% for the traction electric ...
Stick diagram of 5ET50 (MKE) transmission used with Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid. The Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid uses the same basic two-motor Voltec drive unit/transaxle design and general layout as the second-generation Volt; however, compared to the Volt, the Malibu Hybrid is not a plug-in hybrid and has a smaller battery. Consequently, the Malibu ...
The varieties of hybrid electric designs can be differentiated by the structure of the hybrid vehicle drivetrain, the fuel type, and the mode of operation. In 2007, several automobile manufacturers announced that future vehicles will use aspects of hybrid electric technology to reduce fuel consumption without the use of the hybrid drivetrain.
Diagram of the Regera's powertrain Power diagram of the Regera's ICE and hybrid system The Regera has a reported total power output of 1,340 kW (1,797 hp; 1,822 PS) through a hybrid powertrain. As in general, the Regera's internal combustion engine (ICE) generates its greatest power only at high rpm; however, due to the fixed gear, this ...
The winners represent the three leading drivetrain technologies — respectively: ICE, hybrid and battery-electric. Each is in its own way a paragon of efficiency engineering, design, technology ...
A prototype AC Propulsion tzero electric car with an external range-extender or genset trailer, 1999. A range extender is a fuel-based auxiliary power unit (APU) that extends the range of a battery electric vehicle by driving an electric generator that charges the vehicle's battery.
