parallel hybrid

A parallel hybrid vehicle has both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor connected to the drivetrain. They can work together or independently to move the car. When extra power is needed, both can operate simultaneously; during steady driving or low speeds, the electric motor might be the sole source. This setup improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions, as the electric motor assists the engine or takes over to save fuel. The system seamlessly switches between power sources, providing a balanced blend of traditional and electric driving, often without the driver noticing the transition.
