Abstract

The hybridization of motor vehicle drives is one of the major trends of recent years. This paper deals with the growth in sales of vehicles with hybrid propulsion, the directions of their technological development, new solutions for transmission systems, the capacity and location of the batteries and more sophisticated forms of hybrid drive control. Specific trends include the charging of electric or hybrid buses at bus stops and the regulation-influenced development of competitive and racing vehicles. Hybrid drives also appear in commercial vehicles, off-road applications, boats etc.

Hybridizace pohonů motorových vozidel je jedním z hlavních trendů v posledních letech. Tento článek se zabývá růstem prodejů vozidel s hybridním pohonem a směry jejich technického vývoje, novým řešením převodových mechanismů, kapacitou a umístěním baterií a pokročilou formou řízení hybridního pohonu. Specifické trendy se týkají dobíjení elektrických nebo hybridních autobusů na autobusových zastávkách a ovlivnění vývoje soutěžních a závodních vozidel předpisy. Hybridní pohony také se objevují v užitkových vozidlech, off-road aplikacích, člunech atd.
