hybrid engines
Gas-electric motor combinations
Hybrid engines combine two or more power sources, typically an internal combustion engine paired with one or more electric motors.
This arrangement allows vehicles to switch between or blend power sources for improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
The term applies most commonly to automobiles, where the electric motor assists during acceleration and captures energy during braking.
Her hybrid engine gets excellent mileage in city driving.
