parallel configuration
A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) with a parallel configuration has a direct mechanical connection between the power unit and the wheels, as in a conventional vehicle, but also has an electric motor that drives the wheels. For example, a parallel vehicle could use the power created from an internal combustion engine for highway driving and the power from the electric motor for accelerating.
