Abstract
A parallel hybrid vehicle launches from rest or near rest with its internal combustion engine and with its electric motor/generator in generator mode, accelerates to a maximum speed, and decelerates to rest with its internal combustion engine disengaged and its motor/generator in generator mode. Electrical energy generated is stored in an energy storage device and is only as much energy as needed for operation of the vehicle's electrically powered auxiliary equipment while the vehicle is at rest.
