The reasons for adopting hybrid vehicles result mainly from the lack of adequate range from electric vehicles at an acceptable cost. Hybrids can offer significant improvements in emissions and fuel economy. Series and parallel hybrids are compared. A combination of series and parallel operation would be the ideal. This can be obtained using a planetary gearbox as a power split device allowing a small generator totransfer power to the propulsion motor giving the effect of a CVT. It allows the engine to run at semi-constant speed giving bitter fuel economy and reduced emissions. Hybrid car developments are described that show the wide range of possible hybrid systems.
