Les véhicules électriques hybrides (VÉH) comprennent généralement un moteur à combustion interne, un moteur électrique, un générateur et un bloc-batterie. [...] Les moteurs et les blocs-batteries peuvent être montés en parallèle, en série ou dans une disposition combinant les deux configurations. [...] Dans un groupe motopropulseur hybride en série [...] le moteur à combustion interne fournit de l'énergie au générateur, qui charge à son tour le bloc-batterie afin d'activer le moteur électrique qui fait tourner les roues. Ce système a l'avantage principal de permettre au véhicule de fonctionner essentiellement comme un véhicule électrique, sans utiliser le moteur à combustion en conduite urbaine. Il en résulte une réduction des émissions du véhicule. 2, record 3, French, - v%C3%A9hicule%20hybride%20%C3%A0%20configuration%20en%20s%C3%A9rie
