It's called a hybrid because it's part gasoline engine, part electric motor. Thanks to the electric motor, the gasoline engine does not have to run all the time. And when a Ford hybrid is being powered by electricity, it's not burning gasoline. Good for fuel efficiency. Good for the planet. In most instances at low speeds and for short distances, Ford hybrids run exclusively on electricity. At higher speeds, and when you need more power, the gasoline engine kicks in. Ford hybrids also feature a Regenerative Braking System. Unlike a traditional gasoline engine where the energy generated by braking is lost, this innovative technology enables Ford hybrids to capture braking energy and store it for later use.

Who is correct Technician a says AC stands for alternating voyage. Technician b says DC is used in electric motors on most hybrid vehicles.?

Technician A is incorrect; AC stands for alternating current, not "alternating voyage." Technician B is partially correct; while DC (direct current) is commonly used in electric motors for hybrid vehicles, many hybrid systems also utilize AC motors. Thus, both technicians have inaccuracies in their statements.


Working principle of brushless dc motor?

Traction motors are used in electrically powered rail vehicles such as electric multiple units and electric locomotives, other electric vehicles such as electric milk floats, elevators, conveyors, and trolleybuses, as well as vehicles with electrical transmission systems such as diesel-electric, electric hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles. Additionally, electric motors in other products (such as the main motor in a washing machine) are described as traction motors.
