Q. Consider the following statements:
- Flex-fuel vehicles run on hybrid electric technology.
- Flex Fuel Strong Hybrid Electric Vehicles run on a combination of petrol and ethanol along with strong hybrid electric technology.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer:
Only 2
Notes:
- Flex-fuel vehicles (FFV): They have engines that can run on flexible fuel — a combination of petrol and ethanol, which can include up to 100% ethanol.
- Flex Fuel Strong Hybrid Electric Vehicles (FFV-SHEV): When FFV is integrated along with strong hybrid electric technology, it is referred as FFV-SHEVs.
- Strong hybrid is another term for full hybrid vehicles, which have the capability to run solely on either electric or petrol modes.
- In contrast, mild hybrids cannot run purely on one of these modes and use the secondary mode merely as a supplement to the main mode of propulsion.
