The hybrid system is a power train designed to combine and use two different power sources such as a gasoline engine and an electric motor. The system uses the optimum power source, either the gasoline engine or electric motor, according to the driving conditions and maximizes each one's strengths while compensating for their shortcomings. Thus, a driving performance with seamless response is available, and at the same time the fuel consumption and gas emissions are reduced significantly.
