A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a type of hybrid vehicle and electric vehicle that combines a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) propulsion system with an electric propulsion system (hybrid vehicle drivetrain).

The presence of the electric powertrain is intended to achieve either better fuel economy than a conventional vehicle or better performance.

There are a variety of HEV types, and the degree to which each functions as an electric vehicle (EV) varies as well.

The most common form of HEV is the hybrid electric car, although hybrid electric trucks (pickups and tractors) and buses also exist.

A sport utility vehicle or suburban utility vehicle (SUV) is a vehicle classified as a light truck, but operated as a family vehicle.

They are similar to a large station wagon or estate car, usually equipped with four-wheel drive for on- or off-road ability.

Some SUVs include the towing capacity of a pickup truck with the passenger-carrying space of a minivan or large sedan.

A sedan (American, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand English) or saloon (British and Irish English) is a passenger car in a three-box configuration with A, B & C-pillars and principal volumes articulated in separate compartments for engine, passenger and cargo.

The passenger compartment features two rows of seats and adequate passenger space in the rear compartment for adult passengers.

The cargo compartment is typically in the rear, with the exception of some rear-engined models, such as the Renault Dauphine, Tatra T613, Volkswagen Type 3 and Chevrolet Corvair.

It is one of the most common car body styles.

A battery electric sedan such as the Tesla Model S has no engine compartment, but a front cargo compartment and a rear compartment for cargo or optionally for additional passengers.

A car is a wheeled, self-powered motor vehicle used for transportation and a product of the automotive industry.

The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the modern car.

In that year, German inventor Karl Benz built the Benz Patent-Motorwagen.

Cars did not become widely available until the early 20th century.

One of the first cars that was accessible to the masses was the 1908 Model T, an American car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company.

Cars were rapidly adopted in the United States of America, where they replaced animal-drawn carriages and carts, but took much longer to be accepted in Western Europe and other parts of the world.
