ABSTRACT:The academic paper describes in a concrete and elegant way a comparative study of two existing propulsion systems on cars. The authors have developed the concepts and technical aspects of the SWOT analysis, which highlights the qualities and shortcomings of the classic propulsion system with a thermal engine compared with a hybrid propulsion system. In this way, interested parties can learn about the advantages of hybrid propulsion systems installed in today’s cars, which are defined by the electric motor/ motors installed in their propulsion systems. Finally, conclusions are presented in the field covered.
KEYWORDS :car, thermal engine propulsion, hybrid engine propulsion, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats.
