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.

    MG3 Hybrid 15HFC Oil Filter?

    Does anyone know what oil filter (brand, ID #, etc), is used on the Hybrid 15HFC engine? I can't find it listed anywhere.

    I own an MG3 Hybrid+ and I would like to inquire about the exact location of the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) receiving antennas within the vehicle. I am not referring to the sensors located in the wheels, but rather to the antennas that receive the signals from these sensors. Could...

    Hey, my mg3 hybrid is currently in the dealership garage being looked at. They've said it needs a new gear selector solenoid.

    MG3+ Acceleration

    This a quote from Autocar MG3 review. It’s not unusual for cars to better their quoted acceleration times by a little when we test them, but rarely do they beat them by this margin. MG quotes 8.0sec for the 3’s 0-62mph sprint. That’s already significantly quicker than the hybrid versions of the...
