Wybrane prototypowe i studialne pojazdy hybrydowo-elektryczne

The increasing requirements regarding the protection of environment and more and more restricted regulations on emission control, makes that soon the conventional simple propulsion system of vehicle would not fulfill environmental demands. "Zero emission" or "partial zero emission" vehicles can be powered only by use of electric propulsion or hybrid solutions should be taken into account. The accumulation of energy is the most important advantage of hybrid drive, which allows using the double stream of energy during braking and the accelerating the vehicle. In drive cycle the energy dissipated in conventional propulsion system can be accumulated and partially recuperated in hybrid system. In hybrid system engine characterizes the small range of speed and load changes, what allows better adjust its parameter to optimum work conditions. Hybrid drive makes possible to use different engines types or even fuel cells as a source of energy, what is important for present and future solutions as well.
