HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLES

“Ambient technologies”

A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is one of the most new types of hybrid vehicles with electric vehicles that combines a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric propulsion system. The presence of the electric power train is intended to achieve either better fuel economy than a convetional vehicle, or better performance.

Ø  Design

HEVs use added energy provided by the hybrid systems that gives vehicles a better power boost compared to the traditional vehicle. The exchange between added performance and the improvement of the fuel efficiency is controlled by the software inside the hybrid system.

Ø  Characteristics

The HEVs can use many types of fuel sources, like the fossil fuels, these kinds of fuels are the most used by the HEVs, either gasoline or hydrogen can be used for HEVs.

Other characteristic of the HEVs is that they can use an ICE run by biofuels pulsed by ethanol or biodiesel.

HEVs also can be pulsed by electric sources, this type of energy source acts between the actions of two inverters that generates energy thanks to the neodymium.

Ø  Gamming and video

The HEVs traditionally comes without games or LCD, but this depends of the costumer, and the earnings he has. But the excess of the use of this type of appliances can reduce the efficiency of the HEVs.

Ø  The good

The HEVs is environmental machine because it use less combustible,    reduces the CO2 emissions and is quieter than a normal thermal engine.

The HVEs has a better performance in short distances like in the downtowns because it has immediate response.

Ø  The bad

The HEVs is more expensive than the traditional vehicle also because of its complexity is more difficult for the mechanics to repair or even to check it.

The HEVs also are weightier than their tradition designs and this type of vehicles need a specified kind of materials that are limited.

Ø  The bottom line

These types of vehicles are a different option to take care of the environment because the function of these vehicles is healthier for people.

Even though these vehicles are as not accessible as the traditional ones, these are a great solution for the global warming and the environmental disasters people might suffer in the future.
