The hydraulic hybrid system is very suitable for a high‐power and relatively low‐energy system, particularly where short bursts of high‐power acceleration and deceleration are involved. Various heavy off‐road vehicle manufacturers have been concentrating on transforming their system into an electric hybrid type of propulsion. A particular application of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) in off‐road vehicles involves a construction excavator. Fundamentally, a diesel HEV is nothing but a regular HEV, except that the internal combustion engine (ICE) is a diesel engine instead of a gasoline engine. The success of HEVs in automotive applications has led certain other vehicular areas to consider this technology as well. These include ships and aircraft, which are non‐ground vehicles. Diesel‐electric locomotives have already been using this technology in a slightly different form. Industrial utility vehicles normally include industrial forklifts, airport tugs, golf carts, and vehicles used inside factories and airports for internal transportation.
