  2. Vehicle classification by propulsion system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_Classification_by...

    Often Start&Stop vehicle has beefier starter battery, rugged starter motor and maybe more powerful alternator though it is unspecified by how much. Micro Hybrid powertrain can not use stored power to help combustion engine move the vehicle because it doesn't have an electric motor that is engaged while vehicle is in motion. It has a starter.

  3. Refrigerator truck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigerator_truck

    A refrigerator truck or chiller lorry (also called a reefer), is a van or truck designed to carry perishable freight at low temperatures. Most long-distance refrigerated transport by truck is done in articulated trucks pulling refrigerated hardside (box) semi-trailers , although insulated curtainsiders are common in some countries.

  4. BAS hybrid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAS_hybrid

    Toyota Crown Sedan Super Deluxe Mild Hybrid. In June 2001, Toyota introduced a BAS hybrid system under the Toyota Hybrid System-Mild (THS-M) brand name. [1] It operates similarly to other mild hybrids with a start-stop system, in that it shuts down the engine as the vehicle comes to a stop and instantly restarts it when the brake pedal is released.

  5. Alternator (automotive) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternator_(automotive)

    Hybrid electric vehicles replace the separate alternator and starter motor with one or more combined motor/generator(s) that start the internal combustion engine, provide some or all of the mechanical power to the wheels, and charge a large storage battery. [13] When more than one motor/generator is present, as in the Hybrid Synergy Drive used ...

    The power controller, which regulates the flow of energy between the battery and the electric motor(s), controlled by an electronic throttle. One or more electric motors and their mechanical attachment to the driveline. Power conductors connecting the battery, controller, and motor(s). Accessory equipment to power auxiliary equipment such as ...

  7. Motor vehicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle

    A motor vehicle, also known as a motorized vehicle, automotive vehicle, automobile, or road vehicle, is a self-propelled land vehicle, commonly wheeled, that does not operate on rails (such as trains or trams), does not fly (such as airplanes or helicopters), does not float on water (such as boats or ships), and is used for the transportation ...

  8. Electric truck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_truck

    Because such vehicles make many stops, it is more practical to use an electric vehicle than a combustion truck, which would be idling much of the time; it also reduces noise in residential areas. For most of the 20th century, the majority of the world's battery electric road vehicles were British milk floats.

  9. Applications of the Stirling engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_the...

    [1] [2] The Stirling cycle heat engine can also be driven in reverse, using a mechanical energy input to drive heat transfer in a reversed direction (i.e. a heat pump, or refrigerator). [ 3 ] There are several design configurations for Stirling engines that can be built (many of which require rotary or sliding seals) which can introduce ...
