Question 886 in the bank

In a hybrid vehicle:

  1. Tire wear is greater than that of regular vehicles because of the second engine.
  2. Braking is harder because of the second engine.
  3. Fuel consumption is higher than that of regular vehicles, because of the second engine.
  4. Correct answer: Fuel consumption is lower than that of regular vehicles.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Fuel consumption is lower than that of regular vehicles.

A hybrid vehicle combines a combustion engine with an electric motor and a battery. The electric motor helps drive the vehicle, especially at low speeds and in traffic, and energy recovered while slowing down and braking is stored in the battery. This is why fuel consumption is lower than in a regular vehicle. The second motor does not make braking harder or wear out the tires faster.
