Hybrid Electric Vehicles
Some hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) combine a conventional internal combustion engine (using gasoline,
diesel, natural gas, ethanol, or other fuel) with the battery and electric propulsion motor of an electric
vehicle. Other hybrids combine a fuel cell with batteries to power electric propulsion motors.
Vehicle Testing Reports
Several types of testing have been done on HEVs to date HEVAmerica Baseline Performance Testing,
Accelerated Reliability and Fleet Testing, and Pomona Loop Open Road Test Results.
