Abstract
The ultimate solution to environmental pollution from mobile emission sources is a complete transition to electrically powered vehicles operating from batteries deriving their power from nonpolluting sources of energy, or from fuel cells using hydrogen. Without waiting for the economic realization of super batteries or low cost hydrogen fuel cells, the transitional solution to an economically viable, low-cost, low-pollution vehicle is a hybrid electric automobile. A hybrid vehicle can extend the range of a pure electric car to acceptable range levels for US consumers and can provide the advantages of an electric vehicle for short ranges, and yet still be able to travel long distances with improved fuel economy. The author describes the purpose-built GT-5 hybrid
