Comments:

"At the heart of the Toyota Prius is a revolutionary hybrid drivetrain that marries a 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine to two electric motors (one to help drive the front wheels and the other to recharge the nickel-metal hydride battery pack). This setup allows for the gasoline and electric motors to work by themselves or in concert with each other depending on the driving situation."
