Mild hybrid (Mild hybrid)

A starter motor is essential for starting an engine. It turns the engine's flywheel to begin the combustion process.

A lithium-ion battery is the most common types of battery used in electric vehicles (EVs). It is well suited to EVs because it holds a lot of energy, compared to its weight, and is very efficient at charging and discharging.

Horsepower is how the power produced by an engine is measured.

An alternator is a part of a car's engine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy to charge the 12v battery and power the electrical systems.

A hybrid car is one that combines a petrol or diesel engine with an electric motor. They tend to consume less fuel and emit less CO2 than a car with just a petrol or diesel engine.

An electric car, also known as a battery electric vehicle or EV, uses one or more electric motors to move the vehicle.

Engine displacement is a measurement of the total volume of all of an engine’s cylinders, usually written in cubic centimetres (cc), or litres.

A battery electric vehicle (BEV) uses the electrical energy from rechargeable batteries to power an electric motor (or motors).

An internal combustion engine (ICE) is the type of engine conventionally found in a car. that uses combustible fuel – usually petrol or diesel – which is mixed with air in the engine's cylinder.

A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a vehicle that has a slightly larger battery than a regular hybrid, so it travels further just using electricity.

PS (short for Pferdestärke - Horse Strength in German) is how the power produced by an engine is measured and is defined as metric horsepower. 

When petrol or diesel burns in an engine, carbon dioxide gas – also known as CO2 – is the result.

A dual-clutch transmission (DCT) is a type of gearbox that uses two separate clutches and sets of gears, with one set for odd gears and another for the even ones. 

Brake horsepower (BHP) is a measurement of how much power a car engine produces.
