Hybrid Vehicle Drive Model

Hybrid vehicles are powered by an internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors, which uses energy stored in batteries.In a series hybrid, the electric motor is the only means of providing power to the wheels. The motor receives electric power from either the battery pack or from a generator run by a gasoline engine. In vehicles with parallel hybrid drive trains, the engine and electric motor work in tandem to generate the power that drives the wheels.Series/parallel drivetrains merge the advantages and complications of the parallel and series drivetrains. By combining the two designs, the engine can both drive the wheels directly (as in the parallel drive train), and be effectively disconnected, with only the electric motor providing power (as in the series drive train). This design illustrates every components of a hybrid vehicle and simulates the power flow by different colours. Red = Series ModeGreen = Parallel ModeBlue = Series-Parallel Combination Mode
