	Hybrid electric vehicle - Patent 5343970
		The vehicle of claim 34, wherein in both said locked and differential modes of operation of said torque transfer unit, the respective rates of rotation of said gears of said torque transfer unit and of the corresponding input shafts, and the respective rates of rotation of said output member and said wheels are fixed.
		The vehicle of claim 34, wherein said torque transfer unit is further operable in a limited-slip differential mode, wherein the speed of the output member is proportional to the difference in speed of the input shafts, said limited-slip differential mode being selectible by said controller.
		Electric traction motors produce full torque at zero RPM and thus can be connected directly to the wheels; when it is desired that the train should accelerate, the diesel engine is simply throttled to increase the generator output and the train begins to move.

	Hybrid Electric Cars and vehicles, Her Electric Vehicle
		Hybrid electric vehicles are, again, simply those vehicles with an on-board source for generating electrical power.
		The disadvantage to such a hybrid vehicle is that its piston engine has all the drawbacks of the engines in conventional vehicles: Noise, pollution (unless powered by compressed or liquid natural gas [C/LNG] or propane [LPG]) high moving parts count and poor reliability with age.
		Instead of spinning a mechanical generator to produce electrical power, the fuel cell produces electricity by capturing the electrical discharges produced when certain chemicals are combined (or, as is often the case, re-combined).

		Hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs) combine the benefits of gasoline engines and electric motors and can be configured to obtain different objectives, such as improved fuel economy, increased power, or additional auxiliary power for electronic devices and power tools.
		The electric motor applies resistance to the drivetrain causing the wheels to slow down.
		In return, the energy from the wheels turns the motor, which functions as a generator, converting energy normally wasted during coasting and braking into electricity, which is stored in a battery until needed by the electric motor.
