4.1.6 Hybrid propulsion systems

Still trying to find a way out of this situation, the designers decided to compromise: if the polluting effect cannot be completely ruled out, then at least one can try to minimize it. This is how cars with hybrid powertrains appeared. They are hybrid, because the creation of thrust is "engaged" in the internal combustion engine paired with an electric motor. We will consider the connection and interaction diagrams of both engines below. It is worth mentioning here that thanks to hybrid technologies, it was possible to significantly reduce emissions of harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. The benefits of purchasing a hybrid car are very conditional: despite the fact that the fuel consumption is really reduced in comparison with the fuel consumption of cars with one engine, the final cost and the cost of further maintenance of such cars negate all the advantages of the described scheme.
