Hybrid Efficiency Recovers energy and stores it into the battery Regenerative braking Sometimes it will shut the engine off Reduces aerodynamic drag Low rolling resistance tires Stiffer and inflated more 1/2 the drag on the road Lightweight Materials Carbon fiber Metals Aluminum Magnesium
{"Image DocumentName": "Hybrid PerformanceThe key for the hybrid car is its ability to use a smaller engine.", "Image ImageDescription": "A conventional engine is sized for peak power requirement, when a study shows that most drivers reach this less than 1% of our driving time. The hybrid engine is sized for running at the average power not the peak. But when it does reach that point that it needs help up a hill or to pass someone, it draws extra power from the batteries and the electric motor to get the job done.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
