No. The HEV still has an obsolete very low efficiency, polluting internal combustion engine, with a battery and high efficiency Electric Motor to reduce emissions. They are a half way step towards Zero Emission Battery Electric Vehicle. They are popular at present because they have a longer range than a BEV.
