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 configuré en parallèle on retrouve une connexion mécanique directe entre le moteur à combustion interne et les roues, tout comme dans un véhicule traditionnel. Mais il y a également un moteur électrique capable de faire tourner les roues directement. Ainsi, le moteur à combustion interne seul, le moteur électrique seul, ou une combinaison des deux peut propulser le véhicule. 3, record 6, French, - v%C3%A9hicule%20hybride%20%C3%A0%20configuration%20en%20parall%C3%A8le
