Hybridization Strategy – Advantages and Disadvantages

Is hybridization necessary to achieve complete electrification of powertrains?

Traditionally, the primary source of vehicle propulsion has been the internal combustion engine (ICE). While demand for alternative propulsion vehicles is growing exponentially, ICE vehicles still command the major market share. This review aims to understand the various hybridization technologies being developed to address the growing concerns over the adverse effects of ICE-based powertrains on the environment.
