What is Mild Hybrid?

[McAngelina]

Mild hybrid refers to mild hybrid electric vehicles, which in a sense are actually plug-in hybrid vehicles. Power-split hybrid electric vehicles are a type of hybrid vehicle that combines both series and parallel driving modes. The powertrain includes an engine, generator, and electric motor, and can be further classified into micro hybrid, mild hybrid, medium hybrid, and full hybrid vehicles. The electric power system used in hybrid vehicles includes highly efficient and enhanced electric motors, generators, and batteries. The batteries used can be lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, and lithium batteries, and in the future, hydrogen fuel cells may also be used.
