Hybrid electric vehicles combine a small gasoline engine with an electric drive to improve performance, fuel efficiency, and reduce emissions. Major car manufacturers like Toyota and Honda are already producing these vehicles. The technology is available and offers high performance, fuel efficiency, and a long driving range. The research in this paper reviews the current technologies used in hybrid electric vehicles, including how they are built, how the electric motors work, and how energy is stored.
