Hybrid vehicle drivetrains transmit power to the driving wheels for hybrid vehicles. A hybrid vehicle has multiple forms of motive power, and can come in many configurations. For example, a hybrid may receive its energy by burning gasoline, but switch between an electric motor and a combustion engine. A typical powertrain includes all of the ...
A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a type of hybrid vehicle that combines a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) system with an electric propulsion system (hybrid vehicle drivetrain). The presence of the electric powertrain is intended to achieve either better fuel economy than a conventional vehicle or better performance. There is a ...

For more information please see: Hybrid vehicle drivetrain. The L110/f contains a 2 speed Ravigneaux gear set for reducing the final ratio from the HSD to the wheels, the vehicle uses the first gear to get moving under purely electric power from MG2, before moving into second gear. If the ICE is on, then the transmission will switch to gear 2 ...
