Hybrid Cars

  INTRODUCTION. •In an erawhere energy conservation is a developing “trend” not only among the learned but also among the ordinary responsible citizens. •Fuel efficiency along with minimum pollution has become the benchmark for any new automobile. •In the same context “hybrid cars” come as the latest trend though the hybrid car is not a new concept but it has gain popularity in recent years.

  SO WHAT ISA HYBRID VEHICLE ? •Hybrid vehicle is one that uses two different method to propel the vehicle •A Hybrid Electric Vehicle, abbreviated HEV uses both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor to propel the vehicle.. •Most hybrid vehicles use a high voltage battery pack and a combination of electric motor and generator to help or assist a gasoline engine. • If we had better batteries, we would not need hybrids at all.

  GLOBAL-WARMING: STILL ANISSUE. •Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) are not zero-emission vehicles. •But it will cut down the emissions of global-warming pollutants by a third to a half. (between 1/3 to 1/2) •It is expected that the future models of HEV may cut these emissions down by even more.
• 5.
  SO WHY HYBRIDELECTRIC VEHICLES? •To tackle the charging points problem. •Fuel efficiency is greatly increased (almost twice). •Emissions are greatly decreased. •Dependency on fossils fuels can be decreased. •Hybrids can be run on alternative fuels as well. •Less to no need for charging points.

  CLASSIFICATIONS OF HEV •Thehybrid electric vehicles (HEV) are generally classified as :- Series Hybrid design Parallel Hybrid design Series-Parallel Hybrid designs
• 7.
  SERIES HYBRID DESIGN •Working TheInternal combustion engine will rotate the generator. The generator will create electricity and it will be stored in battery as well as used to run the motor. The motor will be connected to the axel and lead to motion of vehicle. BMW i3 with Range Extender is one of the series-hybrid by BMW
• 8.
  PARALLEL HYBRID DESIGN •Working  Both Internal combustion engine and electric motor/generator are connected on a common transmission.  The IC engine will initially run the car as well as the generator and charge the battery.  After the battery is charged or certain speed is achieved the IC engine will switch of and the car will run on electric motor.  When the battery gets drain the IC engine will take over again and run the vehicle till the battery is charged. Honda Insight. is one of the Parallel-hybrid by Honda

  SERIES- PARALLEL HYBRIDDESIGN •Working Here there is a power split device which splits mechanical power and it is used to run the vehicles well as charge the battery through generator. So the vehicle here run on both IC engine as well as on electricity simultaneously. Toyota Prius, Ford Escape and Fusion are some the series-parallel hybrid Vehicals.

  OTHER FORMS OFHEV •The other forms of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) are:- Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) Micro-Hybrid
• 11.
  PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRICVEHICLE (PHEV) •A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a hybrid electric vehicle whose battery can be recharged by plugging it into an external source of electric power, as well by its on-board engine and generator.
• 12.
  MICRO-HYBRID •A micro hybridvehicle uses what's called a "start-stop system," where regenerative braking technology helps to stop a combustion engine when the vehicle pulls to a stop, and to restart it when the driver accelerates.

  HYBRID VEHICLES &INDIA •The FAME India (Faster Adoption and Manufacture of (Hybrid and Electric Vehicles) Scheme was launched by the Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises in 2015 to incentivize the production and promotion of eco-friendly vehicles including electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. • FAME India is a part of the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan. Main thrust of FAME is to encourage electric vehicles by providing subsidies. Vehicles in most segments – two wheelers, three wheelers, electric and hybrid cars and electric buses obtained the subsidy benefit of the scheme.

  HYBRID VEHICLES &INDIA •Different models of HEV are available currently in India but the major issue is its high Price. •Also HEV’s were initially placed under 28% GST slabs were as the Electric vehicles were at 12% GST slab which made it more costly.

  HEV’S AVAILABLE ININDIA •Some of the top 2018 models of HEV’s in India are •BMW i8 •Toyota Yaris Hybrid •Mercedes C-Class C300h •Toyota Prius •Volkswagen Golf GTI
