It is very unusual in today’s world that an evolutionary development step turns out to be revolutionary. Some experts claim, hybrid cars can revolutionize the car industry, but will they? In order to come to an objective conclusion, the following analysis deals primarily with the technical improvements of hybrid cars and compares key aspects to conventional car design.
Structure is one of the first and most crucial decisions to be made. Evaluating different structures is thus an important aspect of an overall analysis. The relatively complex situation of having two engines combined leads to the question of optimized controlling strategies. Responsible for storing the electric energy are the rechargeable batteries. With these aspects in mind, a detailed conclusion on costs and benefits
is possible. This should allow for a differentiate view on hybrid cars.
