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.
