A hybrid internal combustion engine (HICE) comprises an engine block defining one or more cylinder bores, a cylinder liner disposed within each of the one or more cylinder bores, and a piston comprising a permanent magnet. Each cylinder liner comprises a non-ferromagnetic material and an induction coil encased within the non-ferromagnetic material. The permanent magnet of each piston can be reciprocated via electrical power received by an appurtenant induction coil or repeatedly transported across the height of the induction coil to generate electrical energy. A hybrid powertrain of a vehicle includes a HICE, an electrical energy storage device, and a power electronics module configured to transfer the generated electrical energy between each of the one or more cylinder liners and the energy storage device. A motor/generator engaged with a wheel can drive the wheel or generate power via braking thereof.
