Power assist hybrids use the [combustion] engine for primary power, with a torque-boosting electric motor also connected to a largely conventional powertrain. The electric motor, mounted between the engine and transmission, is essentially a very large starter motor, which operates not only when the engine needs to be turned over, but also when the driver "steps on the gas" and requires extra power. 6, record 2, English, - mild%20hybrid%20vehicle

Dans un véhicule à hybridation légère [...], le moteur électrique, d'une puissance de 5 à 15 kW, est directement couplé au moteur thermique. En plus d'assurer le relais en mode «stop & start», il joue un rôle de «booster» pour le moteur thermique, lui apportant sa puissance en phase de reprise. Les deux moteurs délivrent alors conjointement leur puissance. 1, record 2, French, - v%C3%A9hicule%20%C3%A0%20hybridation%20l%C3%A9g%C3%A8re
