hybrid

A hybrid vehicle is one that uses two or more distinct types of power, such as submarines that use diesel when surfaced and batteries when submerged. Other means to store energy include pressurized fluid in hydraulic hybrids.
Hybrid powertrains are designed to switch from one power source to another to maximize both fuel efficiency and energy efficiency. In hybrid electric vehicles, for instance, the electric motor is more efficient at producing torque, or turning power, while the combustion engine is better for maintaining high speed. Improved efficiency, lower emissions, and reduced running costs relative to non-hybrid vehicles are three primary benefits of hybridization.

    How many gears does the PHEV have?

    I'm getting an HS PHEV soon as a company car. I currently have a Skoda Octavia IV PHEV which has a 6 speed DSG gearbox, but it looks like the HS has a two or three speed box? Is this correct? How does it work?
