A hybrid drive, comprising both electric drive and internal combustion engine, can, if suitably designed, combine the advantages of the conventional vehicle drive system (large crusing range, good performance) with those of a purely electric drive (low noise and exhaust emissions, conservation of petroleum resources). Various hybrid drive configurations are described and their advantages and disadvantages discussed; specifically, these are the series hybrid, the parallel hybrid, hybrid drives with added torque and speed, single and two-shaft hybrids. Volkswagen has developed 4 vehicles with hybrid drive for various applications. These vehicles are described and test results are presented on their energy consumption, emissions and driving performance. In conclusion, several considerations are pursued concerning the costs of these vehicles and their future chances on the market.
