About Hybrid and Electric Vehicles

What are HEVs?

Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) combine the internal combustion engine of a conventional vehicle with the battery and electric motor of an electric vehicle, resulting in twice the fuel economy of conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. This combination offers the extended range and rapid refueling consumers expect from a conventional vehicle, with a significant portion of an electric vehicle's energy and environmental benefits.

Cost Benefits

From improved fuel economy to possible government incentives, our team can guide you through the cost benefits of electric and hybrid vehicles for your operations.

Flexibility

From personal transportation to commercial hauling, HEVs and BEVs offer a wide range of applications, from personal vehicle to commercial hauling.

Why HEVs?

Hybrid power systems were conceived as a flexible alternative to full battery electric vehicle (BEV) technology. An onboard generator powered by an internal combustion engine can be installed and used to reduce range anxiety for extended trips with limited charging locations.

Environmental Impact

Improved vehicle efficiency has many environmental benefits, including reduced air pollution in city centers. As governments worldwide adopt cleaner transportation policies, production HEVs serve as a critical component in meeting new industry standards and reducing smog-forming pollutants.

Reducing Pollution

Because of their internal combustion engine, HEVs are not zero-emission vehicles. However, for many operators transitioning to cleaner operations, HEVs serve as an essential and logical solution to cutting emissions of global-warming pollutants by a third to a half, with emissions reductions increasing as HEV technology advances.
