Hybrid Variants
A hybrid drive is a combination of two different power units that operate according to different functional principles. At present, the universal meaning of the term "hybrid technology" is the combination of a combustion engine and an electric drive. A distinction is made between three types of hybrid drive, depending on the basic design:
- the micro hybrid drive,
- the mild hybrid drive,
- the full hybrid drive.
Examples of all variants are available on the market from different manufacturers. Only the full hybrid can benefit from all the advantages of the combustion engine and electric motor combined. The technology Porsche uses in the single-shaft parallel full hybrid is state-of-the art hybrid drive technology and currently achieves the best performance possible.
