hybrid electric midsize hatchback (first generation), sometimes
referred to as a combined hybrid, a vehicle that can
be propelled by gasoline and/or electric power (just like
FHVs 1 and 2), depending on the driving conditions. FHV
3 uses one electric motor in the hybrid propulsion system,
powered by a high-voltage battery. MHV 1 is a parallel
hybrid in which the internal combustion engine and the
electric motor are both connected to the mechanical transmission
and can simultaneously transmit power to drive the
wheels [integrated motor assist (IMA)].
