A hybrid vehicle, abbreviated HEV, is one that uses uses both an internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric motor to propel the vehicle.
Most hybrids use a high-voltage battery pack and a combination electric motor and generator to help or assist a gasoline engine. The ICE used in a hybrid vehicle can be either gasoline or diesel, although only gasoline-powered engines are currently used in hybrid vehicles.
An electric motor is used to help propel the vehicle, and in some designs, capable of propelling the vehicle alone without having to start the internal combustion engine.
