The reasons of manufacturing the sustina-Hybrid vehicles are originated from the Kyoto Protocol. In the present situations where global warming is ongoing, there is rising consciousness for environmental protection on a global basis, and therefore there are increasing countries and regions which aim to save energy, reduce CO_2 emissions and achieve a low carbon society. According to such background, we built the vehicles of two series; i.e., an accumulator-type vehicle with a combination of main circuit batteries and pantographs, and a vehicle with a combination of main circuit batteries and engine and a generator. Further, each of the system configurations was realized due to the development of main circuit batteries (lithium-ion secondary batteries) and the development of control management. Also as a result of the progress of power electronics and control technology in the field of inverters, these sustina-Hybrid vehicles were completed. Described herein are the features of the sustina-Hybrid vehicles.
