Architecture

    The mechanical and/or electrical structure that defines the energy flow routes in a vehicle.

    Electric coupling

    The method by which two electric powers are added together.

    Electric vehicle

    An electric vehicle is referred to as a vehicle that uses electric energy as its energy source, generally chemical batteries and/or ultracapacitors and electric motor as its power source.

    Fuel cell vehicle

    A fuel cell vehicle is referred to as a vehicle that uses fuel cells and electric motor as its power source.

    Hybrid electric vehicle

    A hybrid electric vehicle is referred to as a vehicle in which two energy sources and correspondingly two power sources are installed, which are selectively used to power the vehicle. The primary energy source and power source may be chemical fuels and internal combustion engine. The secondary energy source and power source maybe chemical batteries and electric motor.

    Mechanical coupling

    The method by which two mechanical powers are added together.

    Operation mode

    Drive train operation status in which power sources are selectively used as the active power mover to propel the vehicle.
