The gas electric
hybrid demystified

Introduction
 Hybrid- a cross between the established varieties of
plants, animals or technological resources.
 Hybrid bicycle- conglomerates the features of road
bike and the non-bike for establishing convenience
towards covering short distances
 Gasoline engine- a powerful and flexible equipment
for providing ease in terms of maintaining the
required speed
 Battery powered electric motors- an effective
means of transport, which are quiet, effective and
clean in terms of producing the electric charges as
per the requirements.
 Mild hybrid- small electric motors, which boosts the
capacity of the gas engines.
 Full hybrid- Difference persists in the functioning of
the motors

Discussion
 Major perceptions of hybrid revolve
around the adjectives of fuel efficient,
low emissions among others.
 Hybrid car technologies are the latest
attractions in terms of developing
motors, which operate on electricity
 Gasoline engines prove effective for
enhancing the convenience towards
travelling 400 to 800 kms. The
operations is expensive. Proper pricing
mechanisms are needed for coping up
with the high petrol prices. One of the
major concerns here, is that it is one of
the sources adding to the pollution
levels

Battery powered electric motors
 The alarming situation created by
global warming is one of the other
concerns, compelling the automobile
companies towards manufacturing
battery powered electric motors.
 Most of the automobile companies
have adopted battery powered electric
motors, as they are quiet, effective
and clean. The measurement of
mileage is done according to the
production of the electric charges. One
of the weaknesses is that the battery
needs to be recharged overnight.
Discussions with the research and
development team and engineers are
in progress, which indicates
upgradation in the technology for
addressing these issues.

Hybrid vehicles
 Hybrid vehicles are effective, as it makes
use of both the motors. However, the
advantages are exploited, which
degrades the efficiency in the hybrid
vehicles.
 Gasoline engine provides power to the
vehicles and electric engine reduces the
content of gasoline required.
 Twinning of the engines is the major
aspect, differentiating the engines

Mild hybridisation
 Mild hybridisation is used as it enhances
the capability of the engines. The gas
engines are used for maintaining
consistency in the performance of the
larger power plants.
 Small engines are considered to be
effective in producing less gas, a wise step
for reducing the environmental pollution.
Along with this, it is also cost effective, as
it helps in introducing measures for
reducing the emissions
 Mild hybridisation is also effective for
conserving the fuel for the gas engine to
shut down, when the vehicle is not being
operated.

Mechanisms of mild hybridization
 Mild hybridization is also helpful in
terms of saving the energy needed
when the vehicle is at the traffic
signal
 Press on the accelator is an
indication for the gas motor to
start operating the engine, once
the signal is off.

Full hybridization
 Full hybridization is also effective as it
gets the assistance of both the
motors. It automatically shuts down
the gas engine, when the vehicle is
stopped. In this case, low speed is
maintained, as the vehicle is only
operated through the electric motor.
This is done until the vehicle gets the
required energy.
 With the increase of the speed, diesel
motor starts automatically. In this
case, the motor gets the assistance of
the other motors for providing the
power needed in plying the vehicles
smoothly in highways.

Arrangement of cars in hybridization
 The arrangement of the cars
is such that it provides the
required mileage through
proper functioning of the
engines in the long distance
drivings.

Hybrid models
Hybrid models
 Provide the power needed by the engine
 Helps in recharging the batteries
 Electric motor acts as a decelator

Power in hybridization
 Power is lost as heat

Commercialization of hybrid
technologies
 Market research
upgrades the standards
and quality of hybrid
technologies
 Consideration of the gas
prices is needed for
averting the
inadequacies of the oil
resources
 Governmental
investments are needed
for manufacturing
petroleum operated
vehicles

Conclusion
 Hybrid technologies can be an
effective source for reducing the
pollution levels and smoke
emissions. Consideration of the oil
and gas prices are important in
terms of manufacturing the
vehicles running on petroleum,
diesel and others. Governmental
initiatives is assistance for the
automobile companies to cause the
advent of innovation in the
infrastructure through hybrid
technologies.
