Un vehículo híbrido es aquel que combina dos o más sistemas, que a su vez consumen fuentes de energía diferentes. Uno de los sistemas es el generador de la energía eléctrica, que consiste en un motor de combustión interna de alta eficiencia, combinado con volantes de inercia, ultracondensadores o baterías eléctricas. El otro sistema está compuesto por la batería eléctrica y los motogeneradores instalados en las ruedas. 1, record 1, Spanish, - veh%C3%ADculo%20h%C3%ADbrido

Combined hybrid. Combined hybrid systems have features of both series and parallel hybrids. They incorporate power-split devices allowing for power paths from the engine to the wheels that can be either mechanical or electrical. The main principle behind this system is the decoupling of the power supplied by the engine ... from the power demanded by the driver. 8, record 2, English, - series%2Dparallel%20hybrid%20vehicle
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
In a series hybrid-electric vehicle all energy supplied by the non-reversible source (combustion engine or fuel cell) is converted into electricity. The wheels are always driven by the electric motor ... In a parallel hybrid-electric vehicle most of the mechanical energy supplied by the combustion engine is transferred to the wheels by a mechanical transmission. In addition or alternatively ... the wheels are also driven by the electric motor ... A combined hybrid combines characteristics of the two configurations described above. 9, record 2, English, - series%2Dparallel%20hybrid%20vehicle
