HYBRID VEHICLE FORMED BY CONVERTING A CONVENTIONAL IC ENGINE POWERED VEHICLE AND METHOD OF SUCH CONVERSION

摘要

A method of modifying a conventional internal combustion powered vehicle to hybrid electrical form involving modifying the drive train so that the rotor of a motor generator may be connected to the input of the drive train. This may be accomplished by removing an element and substituting a transfer case having driving inputs from both the engine and motor-generator, or by connecting the rotor of the motor generator to an input to the drive train.
