How to Travel in a Hybrid Vehicle
Hybrid electric vehicles are powered by an internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors, which use energy stored in batteries. The extra power provided by the electric motor can potentially allow for a smaller engine. The battery can also power auxiliary loads and reduce engine idling when stopped. Together, these features result in better fuel economy without sacrificing performance.
