A hybrid vehicle combines any two power (energy) sources. Possible combinations include diesel/electric, gasoline/flywheel and fuel cell (FC)/battery. Typically, one energy source is storage and the other is conversion of a fuel to energy.

The combination of two power sources may support two separate propulsion systems. Thus to be a true hybrid, the vehicle must have at least two modes of propulsion.

COURSE OUTCOME

This course will equip individuals with theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to service Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) or Electric Vehicles (EV). Fundamentals of electrical and electronic concepts will be included to cater for those person who lack knowledge in this area. The course combines theory and hands on applications using test instruments and actual HEV/EV vehicle components. Emphasis will be placed on safety in working with HEV/EV.

COURSE OVERVIEW

  • Explain how hybrid vehicles operate
