Hybrid Vehicle market in India


Every car sold in India from 2030 will be electric, under new government plans that have delighted environmentalists and dismayed the oil industry. Hybrid vehicle have been called a “bridge” toward pure electric vehicles. A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is one that relies on two different power sources.

Hybrid vehicle have been called a “bridge” toward pure electric vehicles. A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is one that relies on two different power sources.



Hybrid vehicle share an overlapping set of technologies to make their systems work. Their basic goal is to maximize the use of the electric portion of the drivetrain because electric motors are more efficient and produce no emissions.
A Hybrid Electric Vehicle combines a chemically fuelled (gasoline, diesel, or alternate fuel) internal combustion (IC) engine, an Electric motor, an energy storage device (battery) & regenerative braking.

The combined system improves the overall vehicle efficiency to increase fuel economy and reduce tailpipe emissions.

By the layout hybrid vehicles can be classified as series hybrid, parallel hybrid & series-parallel hybrid.

Hybrid vehicle are also classified based on the degree of hybridization as micro hybrid, mild hybrid, medium hybrid, full hybrid & plug in.
