Therefore, the demands placed on the internal combustion engine differ, depending on the type of hybrid system that is selected. For example, in vehicles that use a parallel hybrid layout, the engine should be optimized for a large part of its operating area to exploit the full potential of the hybrid technology. Vehicles that utilize power-split hybrid designs should have the engine optimized for a specific operating curve. Diesel Hybrid Diesel hybrid engines usually operate within map areas with low BSFC and low exhaust emissions. The overall optimization of diesel hybrid powertrains is strongly dependent on the exhaust gas aftertreatment concept that is selected. A well-tuned compromise between fuel consumption and NOx emissions must be found. Gasoline Hybrid Simplification of the combustion engine (e.g. Miller/Atkinson cycle) Hybrids offer opportunity for downsizing without the
