Hybrid-electric drives (terms)
Definition of a hybrid drive |
At least 2 different energy converters |
At least 2 corresponding storage systems (e.g., tank, battery) |
1. Differentiation of the hybrid-drives |
Parallel hybrid | Combustion engine and electro-motor are both mechanically connected to the drive train. |
Seriel hybrid | Only the electro-motor ist mechanically connected to the drive train. The combustion engine serves only to generate current. |
2. Differentiation of the hybrid-drives |
| Start-Stopp | Electro-Boost, brake- recuperation | Operation with only the electro-motor |
Micro-hybrid | X | | |
Mild-hybrid | X | X | |
Full-hybrid | X | X | X |
Plug-in hybrid |
Full-hybrid, which can be re-charged from an outlet socket. |
The above shown differences are not valid without exception. E.g., nowadays, Honda produces mild-hybrids, which make possible, at least for a short period, operation using only the electro-drive.
