Hybrid electric vehicles and electrochemical storage systems — a technology push–pull couple

Journal of Power Sources, 1999
Abstract In the advance of fuel cell electric vehicles (EV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) can contribute to reduced emissions and energy consumption of personal cars as a short term solution. Trade-offs reveal better emission control for series hybrid vehicles, while parallel hybrid vehicles with different drive trains may significantly reduce fuel
