What is a hybrid car?

the first thing to specify is that today in the automotive world there are two types of hybrid cars:

1. The first type is what we now consider / call bifuel, i.e. a hybrid car powered by a thermal engine capable of exploiting two different fuels, for example petrol + LPG.

2. The second type are cars equipped with a dual engine system, for example petrol + electric

The hybrid engine used in automotive is the perfect parallel hybrid engine for automotive and road transport vehicles.

In the parallel hybrid engine, the two motors, thermal and electric, are powered independently and transmit driving force to the same drive shaft.

The peculiarity lies in the fact that starting, accelerating and braking (i.e. the most demanding 'ideas' from the point of view of consumption) are managed by the electrical part, this if on the one hand it contributes to reducing consumption and emissions. on the other hand, it increases the stress to which the heat engine is subjected due to continuous switching on and off.

In hybrid engines, a very fluid lubricant is required to allow correct lubrication of all moving metal parts.

SHELL , a manufacturer of cutting-edge lubricants since ever, has created a range entirely dedicated to these types of vehicles, including the product in question, namely Shell Helix Ultra 0w20 SN Plus .
