Abstract :
Fuel conservation and environmental pollution control are the principal motivating factors that are urging at present widespread research and development activities for electric and hybrid vehicles throughout the world. The paper describes different possible energy storage devices, such as battery, flywheel and ultra capacitor, and power sources, such as gasoline engine, diesel engine, gas turbine and fuel cell for next generation hybrid electric vehicle. The technology trend and comparison in energy storage and power devices indicate that battery and gasoline engine, respectively, will remain the most viable devices for hybrid vehicle at least in the near future
