A hybrid vehicle uses two or more motors and the motors are different types. The hybrid cars selling now have a petrol engine and one or more electric motors. The petrol engine can drive the wheels as in a normal car, and can also drive a big alternator which charges large batteries. The electric motor or motors run from the battery and drive the wheels too.
For maximum power, both the petrol engine and the electric motors are selected to drive the wheels, but this tends to flatten the batteries faster than they are being charged. For cruising, only the electric motors are used and the petrol engine drives only the alternator. It runs at maximum efficiency loads and speeds to recharge or keep the batteries fully charged.
The economy gains come from two facts. The petrol engine is relatively small and running at maximum efficiency nearly all the time. The electric system of alternator, battery and motors is far more efficient than an equivalent petrol powered machine anyway.
