    Abstract: A hybrid vehicle control and operating system, a hybrid vehicle operated by the system, and a power supply arrangement for the hybrid vehicle where the drive of the hybrid vehicle is performed only by an electric motor driven by a generator under average power conditions and, under maximum power conditions, is driven by the generator and also by a battery bank that provides complementary energy to the electric motor. The bank of batteries accumulates energy exceeded by the generator and/or electric motor when the vehicle is under deceleration conditions or even stopped.
