Many people have probably owned a hybrid vehicle at some point. For example, a Mo-Ped (powered by a pedal bike) is a type of hybrid that combines the power of a gasoline engine with the pedal power of its rider. In fact, hybrid vehicles are all around us. Most of the locomotives pulling the train, we see a hybrid diesel-electric. Cities like Seattle have diesel-electric buses – can be powered by overhead wires or run on diesel, when away from his son. Giant mining trucks are often diesel-electric hybrids. Submarines are also hybrid vehicles – some are nuclear, and some are diesel-electric. Any vehicle that combines two or more sources of energy that can directly or indirectly provides propulsion power is a hybrid. Most hybrid cars on the roads now are gas-electric hybrids, although French car manufacturer PSA Peugeot Citroen has two diesel-electric hybrid cars in the works.
