Abstract
The hybrid vehicle is a key technology in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in road transport, improving long-term environmental sustainability. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the research status of Hybrid vehicles and identify its industrial and commercial impact. Visualizations have been made from data from WOS (1900–2017) that allow us to understand the field of research of hybrid vehicles. The relationships between main institutions, relevant authors and keywords have been analyzed. Moreover, a very innovative contribution is the analysis of web indicators to quantify the industrial impact of the research. Global results show that hybrid vehicle is rapidly obtaining attention in scientific production. The research concentration is mainly in USA and China, as well as the institutions with more publications. In addition, those institutions are the ones that collaborate the most. The intellectual landscape is formed by very general terms such as electric vehicle and hybrid vehicle, but fields related to battery, energy management, optimization and design, among others, are also being studied. Regarding industrial and commercial impact, the impact on the market of USA scientific research is higher.
