Ve hicles with hybrid systems generate signi/-
cant lyless noise when stationary and when being
driven than vehicles with combustion engines.
When driving in elect ric mode, theve hicle may
not be heard by otherroad users due tothe signif-
icantly reduced noise generated. It is
forth is reason that theve hicle is equipped
