What is HEV?
 A Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) is a type of hybrid
vehicle and electric vehicle that combines a conventional
internal combustion engine (ICE) system with
an electric propulsion system (hybrid vehicle drivetrain).

Working of HEV
 (a) Electric power only: Up to speeds of usually 40 km/h, the
electric motor works with only the energy of the batteries, which
are not recharged by the ICE.
 (b) ICE + electric power: if more energy is needed (during
acceleration or at high speed), the electric motor starts working
in parallel to the heat engine, achieving greater power
 (c) ICE + battery charging: if less power is required, excess of
energy is used to charge the batteries. Operating the engine at
higher torque than necessary, it runs at a higher efficiency.
 (d) Regenerative breaking: While braking or decelerating, the
electric motor takes profit of the kinetic energy of the moving
vehicle to act as a generator.

Components of a Hybrid
 Gasoline engine
 Much like our engines but smaller and is made with
advanced technologies to reduce emissions and increase
efficiency.
 Fuel Tank
 Energy storing device for the gasoline engine
 Gas has a much larger density than the batteries
 Example: 1,000 pounds of batteries store as much energy as 1 gallon
(7 pounds) of gas

Continuing Components
 Electric Motor
 Advance electronics allow it to act as either an motor or a
generator.
 Example: When needed it can take power from the batteries
to accelerate the car. Or as the car slows down it acts as a
generator and returns that energy to the batteries.
 Generator
 Similar to an electric motor, just it acts only to produce
electrical power.
 Mainly in series hybrids

Continuing Components
 Batteries
 Energy storage device for the electric motor.
 Transmission
 Transmission on a hybrid performs the same as a
transmission on our cars.
 How a transmission works is that it takes power from the
engine or motor and sends to the driveshaft which turns
your axle to move your car.

Types of HEV
1. Parallel Hybrid
2. Series Hybrid
3. Power-Split Hybrid

Parallel Hybrid
 Has a fuel tank that supplies
gas to the engine like a
regular car.
 It also has a set of batteries
that run an electric motor.
 Both the engine and electric
motor can turn the
transmission at the same
time.
 Ex- Honda civic hybrid

Series Hybrid
 The fuel tank goes to the
engine, but the engine turns a
generator.
 Then the generator can either
charge the batteries or power
an electric motor that drives
the transmission.
 The gasoline engine does not
directly power the car.
 Ex- Renault kangoo

Series v/s Parallel Hybrid
Advantages:
 ICE running mostly at
optimal speed and torque
 ICE can be turned off in zero
emission zone
 Low fuel consumption
 High fuel efficiency
Disadvantages:
 Many energy conversions ->
energy loss
 More suitable for city driving
Advantages:
 ICE directly connected to
wheels ->fewer power
conversions
 Electric machine and
gearboxes present -> ICE
working point can be chosen
freely
Disadvantages:
 ICE & electrical machines
must be mounted together

Hybrid Performance
 The key for the hybrid car is its ability to use a smaller engine.
 A conventional engine is sized for peak power requirement,
when a study shows that most drivers reach this less than 1% of
our driving time.
 The hybrid engine is sized for running at the average power not
the peak. But when it does reach that point that it needs help
up a hill or to pass someone, it draws extra power from the
batteries and the electric motor to get the job done.

Hybrid Efficiency
 Recovers energy and stores it into the battery
 Regenerative braking
 Sometimes it will shut the engine off
 Reduces aerodynamic drag
 Low rolling resistance tires
 Stiffer and inflated more
 1/2 the drag on the road
 Lightweight Materials
 Carbon fiber
 Metals
 Aluminum
 Magnesium

Hybrid Maintenance
 Warranties
 The average warranty for a hybrid now is around either 8 yr/
100,000 mile or even 10 year/ 150,000 mile
 Batteries
 $6800 for new Toyota and Honda hybrid
 But batteries tested to go for 180,000 miles and some

Advantages and disadvantages of the
hybrids
 Some advantages of the hybrid car are the better fuel economy
and the environmental fact of the lower emissions of the
vehicle. But at the same time there are also disadvantages of
having a hybrid car some of the disadvantages are the higher
prices on the cars and the lack of places and opportunities of
getting the alternate fuels. Some of them also don’t have as
much power as your average gas engine.
