Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system
1C_HybridDriveSystem
The HYUNDAI Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) uses both the petrol engine and the electric motor for power. The electric motor is run by a high voltage hybrid battery.
Depending on the driving conditions, the HEV computer selectively operates between the engine and the electric motor or even both at the same time.
Fuel economy increases when the vehicle is driven by the electric motor with the HEV battery.
The hybrid battery charge must be maintained, so at times the engine will come on even at idle to act as a generator. Charging also occurs when decelerating or by regenerative braking.
