To give the reader a broad perspective in various application areas, the chapter includes a reasonable amount of discussion on hybrid hydraulic vehicles and how they compare with their hybrid electric counterpart. This deviation from hybrid electric vehicles is important for the readers to note, due to the fact that under certain circumstances hybrid hydraulic vehicles could be better alternatives. Regenerative braking in hybrid hydraulic vehicles is discussed. One important area in hybrid electric vehicles is related to their off‐road application, a topic which is generally not included in books. Such application areas could include construction, mining, military, locomotives, ships, and aircrafts. A realistic viewpoint is exposed and it is indicated that all the above areas except airborne ones, are perhaps benefited by hybridization with currently available technology, which still has scope of improvement. Comparison of power and energy demand in different situations above is included through a table. Architectures, pictures, and certain specifications are included, which clearly give an idea of the typical situation involved.
