The electric propeller motor uses electricity stored in batteries, with the engines not operating, to take off and climb reducing sound emissions. The powertrain reduces the weight of the plane by 100 kilos relative to its predecessor. The DA36 E-Star first flew in June 2013, making this the first ever flight of a series hybrid powertrain.
The GM code for the second-generation Voltec powertrain drive unit (transaxle) is 5ET50. [23] Compared to the first-generation 4ET50/55 transaxles, the overall design has shifted closer to being a parallel hybrid, running more often using mechanical power from the engine supplemented by the electric motors in hybrid mode.
A prototype AC Propulsion tzero electric car with an external range-extender or genset trailer, 1999. A range extender is a fuel-based auxiliary power unit (APU) that extends the range of a battery electric vehicle by driving an electric generator that charges the vehicle's battery. This arrangement is known as a series hybrid drivetrain.
The Honda Insight (ホンダ・インサイト, Honda Insaito) is a hybrid electric vehicle that is manufactured and marketed by Honda.Its first generation was a two-door, two passenger liftback (1999–2006) [2] [3] and in its second generation was a four-door, five passenger liftback (2009–2014).

E-Four was first implemented in the 2001 Toyota Estima Hybrid and is used in several Toyota and Lexus cars, e.g. 2016 Toyota RAV4, [9] Lexus NX 300h, Lexus RX 450h, [10] and Toyota Prius AWD-e, [11] and in the future may be used in the standard fifth generation Toyota Prius. [12]
The Honda Clarity is a nameplate used by Honda on alternative fuel vehicles.It was initially used only on hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles such as the 2008 Honda FCX Clarity, but in 2017 the nameplate was expanded to include the battery-electric Honda Clarity Electric and the plug-in hybrid electric Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid, in addition to the next generation Honda Clarity Fuel Cell.
Hydraulic hybrid vehicle systems consists of four main components: the working fluid, reservoir, pump/motor (in parallel hybrid system) or in-wheel motors and pumps (in series hybrid system), and accumulator. In some systems, a hydraulic transformer is also installed for converting output flow at any pressure with a very low power loss. [3]
