Hybrid-Electric Propulsion

Hybrid-electric propulsion combines traditional fuel engines with electric motors to power a vehicle, improving efficiency and reducing emissions. It typically uses a gasoline or diesel engine along with batteries and electric motors. The system intelligently switches between or combines both power sources depending on driving conditions, such as accelerating or cruising. This setup allows the vehicle to use less fuel, emit fewer pollutants, and often recover energy during braking. Hybrid systems are common in cars and ships, offering a balance of performance, environmental benefits, and fuel savings without relying solely on batteries or fossil fuels.
