Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) combine the internal combustion engine of a normal vehicle with the battery and electric motor of an electric vehicle. This results in twice the fuel economy of conventional vehicles. Also offers the extended range and rapid refuelling that consumers expect from a normal vehicle, with all the energy and environmental benefits of an electric vehicle. Can be used in a wide range of applications, from personal transportation to commercial hauling. Hybrid Electric Vehicle Combination of petrol engine and electric motor Energy density Petrol - 12,500 Wh/kg Lead Acid battery - 25 Wh/kg Nickel-metal hydride battery – 44 Wh/kg Series hybrids: petrol engine drives alternator to store energy in batteries or sent to electric motor which powers the wheels. Petrol engine never supplies the wheels directly. Why HEV’s? Hybrid power systems were designed as a way to compensate for the shortfall in battery technology. Because batteries could supply only enough energy for short trips, an onboard generator, powered by an internal combustion engine, could be installed and used for longer trips. This is the concept of the HEV. Electric vehicles are only being used in selected market applications where fewer kilometres are travelled. Conventional motor vehicles powered by internal-combustion engines (ICE) pose substantial economic, environmental and energy security issues for the planet. Why HEV’s? More efficient cars can make a big difference to society in terms of environmental benefits, and the state of the urban air has motivated buyers to purchase cleaner cars. Use of production HEVs will reduce smog-forming pollutants over the current national average. Why HEV’s? Hybrids wi
