Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) combine an internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors. The benefits of hybrid cars are numerous. Hybrids use several tricks of the trade in order to improve fuel economy and emissions, including using specially designed tires and wheels, lighter body styles, regenerative braking, and engine start and stop features, among others. Hybrid gasoline engines (ICEs) feature electronic throttle controls, variable valve timing, lean burn combustion designs, which makes them more complex, and more challenging to repair and service. Despite the sophisticated nature of hybrid systems, technicians should be qualified for routine hybrid vehicle service before you trust them to handle your hybrid repairs and services.
