A Full Hybrid System, also known as a Strong Hybrid, uses a combination of a gasoline internal combustion engine (ICE) and a powerful electric motor, supported by a larger battery. Unlike mild hybrids, full hybrids can operate on electric power alone, especially at low speeds or for short distances.
Benefits of Full Hybrid System:
- Self-Charging System
The full hybrid system is self-charging through regenerative braking and engine power, meaning it doesn’t require external charging infrastructure. - Electric Mode (EV Mode)
The electric motor can power the vehicle independently at low speeds and for short distances, especially useful in traffic or urban settings. - Hybrid Mode
The system automatically switches between or combines the electric motor and ICE based on driving conditions, optimizing both performance and efficiency. - Dual Power Sources
Both the electric motor and ICE can drive the vehicle independently or together, offering a flexible power delivery system. - Improved Fuel Efficiency
By using electric assist during acceleration and reducing engine load, full hybrids deliver significant fuel economy gains. - Reduced Emissions
The ability to run on electric power and reduced engine idling contributes to lower carbon emissions. - Regenerative Braking
When braking or decelerating, the electric motor acts as a generator, converting motion energy into electrical energy to recharge the battery.
