Hybrid Propulsion
Hybrid propulsion refers to a system that combines two different power sources to propel a vehicle. Most commonly seen in cars, it typically merges an internal combustion engine (which runs on gasoline) with an electric motor. This combination allows for improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and enhanced performance. The electric motor can provide extra power during acceleration or help the vehicle operate solely on electricity at lower speeds, while the engine can take over during longer journeys. This technology seeks to optimize energy use and decrease reliance on fossil fuels.

Hybrid propulsion refers to a system that combines two different sources of power to drive a vehicle or machine, typically an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. This technology allows vehicles, such as cars and ships, to use electricity for efficient operation at lower speeds or during short trips, while the engine kicks in for more power during longer journeys. The benefits include reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions, and the ability to operate more quietly. Hybrid systems are increasingly popular in efforts to promote sustainability and improve energy efficiency in transportation.
