 PARALLEL HYBRID
Gasoline motor
Batteries which
powers an electric
motor
Both can power the
transmission at the
same time
Electric motor
supplements the
gasoline engine
4
Gasoline motor turns
a generator
Generator may either
charge the batteries
or power an electric
motor that drives the
transmission
At low speeds is
powered only by the
electric motor

Individual cells originally contained liquid potassium
hydroxide
The liquid is almost totally absorbed by the paper
membranes inside each cell of the battery
Because the liquid is absorbed these batteries are
considered “dry cell” batteries

Most gasoline
engines in hybrids will
shut off when not
needed – i.e. when
stopped in traffic
Most hybrids have an

 SUMMARY

Due to the proliferation of hybrid vehicles

on the road today, responders must be
familiar with how these vehicles operate,
and how to handle an emergency which
involves one of these vehicles.
Additionally, responders must stay up-to-
date with current vehicle technology, as it
is continuously changing.
