Hybrid propulsion system

A hybrid propulsion system combines two or more types of power sources—typically an internal combustion engine (like a traditional gasoline engine) and an electric motor. This setup allows the vehicle to switch between or use both power sources simultaneously, optimizing efficiency and reducing emissions. For example, it can run on electric power at low speeds and switch to gasoline for longer distances or higher speeds. The system often recovers energy during braking to recharge the batteries. Overall, hybrid propulsion provides a balance of performance, fuel economy, and lower environmental impact, making vehicles more sustainable and cost-effective to operate.
