hybrid

A hybrid vehicle is one that uses two or more distinct types of power, such as submarines that use diesel when surfaced and batteries when submerged. Other means to store energy include pressurized fluid in hydraulic hybrids.
Hybrid powertrains are designed to switch from one power source to another to maximize both fuel efficiency and energy efficiency. In hybrid electric vehicles, for instance, the electric motor is more efficient at producing torque, or turning power, while the combustion engine is better for maintaining high speed. Improved efficiency, lower emissions, and reduced running costs relative to non-hybrid vehicles are three primary benefits of hybridization.

    Order and delivery time

    everything about ordering and delivery times of the MG ZS Hybrid+ I ordered my ZS in mid-November and received it 3 1/2 weeks later. Other manufacturers could learn a thing or two from that. Our Dacia Jogger Hybrid took 7 months to do the same.
