Hybrid Drive Train Market To Grow US$ 600 Bn By 2030 With CAGR 28%
Although they have largely been employed for rail locomotives, electrical vehicles have a long history of mixing internal combustion and electrical transmission –as in a diesel-electric powertrain. Because the electrical drive transmission directly substitutes the mechanical gearbox rather than being an additional source of motive power, a diesel-electric powertrain does not meet the definition of hybrid. The ‘trackless’ trolleybus of the 1930s, which generally employed propulsion current carried by wire, is one of the oldest forms of hybrid land vehicle. An internal combustion engine (ICE) was often used in trolleybuses, either to directly power the bus or to generate electricity on its own. The truck was able to maneuver around obstructions and broken overhead transmission lines as a result of this.
