hybrid engine
Gas-electric motor combo
A hybrid engine combines two or more power sources, typically an internal combustion engine paired with an electric motor.
The system switches between or blends these sources to optimize fuel efficiency and reduce emissions: The hybrid engine runs on electric power at low speeds.
Most commonly found in hybrid vehicles, where regenerative braking recharges the battery.
