Plug-in Hybrid: The Best of Two Worlds - Online Advertorial | ZF Friedrichshafen AG | VISION mobility - The magazine for cars, fleet management, mobility, connectivity and infrastructure

The six most common prejudices and what experts counter. It is a daily ritual for many people: the alarm rings, a quick breakfast and off we go to work. For most no long way. Three out of four German commuters drive a maximum of 24 kilometers to work. There, the car is parked until it returns home at night. Only occasionally longer distances are required, such as when the trip is on vacation or visiting relatives. In such a scenario, plug-in hybrids play to their strengths: Allow regular service life to recharge the batteries for short-distance travel; Torsten Gollewski, Head of Advanced Development at ZF.Recht is similar to the situation in the USA: According to a survey by the American Automobile ociation (AAA), the average mileage per day is around 31 miles , However, electric vehicles have a hard time on the market, whether it's pure e-vehicles or hybrid vehicles. Main criticism: too expensive and too few charging stations.To reduce CO2 emissions from road traffic, there is no way around the decarbonisation of transport: Plug-in hybrids are paving the way for the abandonment of fossil fuels. You can use the existing infrastructure for energy distribution. With electricity from renewable energies and biofuels, plug-in hybrids even turn into zero-CO2 emission vehicles, says dr. Andrew Alfonso Frank. The emeritus professor at the University of California at Davis also has an entrepreneurial past, so he knows the practice. Frank, an internationally recognized powertrain expert, holds more than 30 patents. He is considered the inventor of the modern plug-in hybrid principle.
