But so-called "range parity" - equalling the typical range of an internal-combustion engine on a full tank - is just as important a goal for battery manufacturers.

然而对电池制造商而言，他们要完成的重要目标就是实现所谓的“续行里程均等”-即拥有与一辆加满油的内燃机汽车相等的续航里程。

More efficient internal-combustion engines will wring out mileage from every drop of fuel, and hybrid powertrains will combine an electric motor with a conventional engine.

更高效的内燃发动机将进一步节约油耗，混合动力装置把电动马达同传统引擎组合在一起。
