Answer:

Dual-Mode Hybrid

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of hybrid vehicle propelled by only an electric motor and does not require a traditional transmission to drive the wheels is known as "DUAL-MODE HYBRID."

Dual-Mode Hybrid is a type of Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) which contains a separate generator consisting of rechargeable batteries. The engine ensures the wheels and the generator are moved; thereby, the electric motor and the batteries are fully powered.

A good example is a Toyota Prius, where during driving conditions, only the electric motor drives the wheels, in which the batteries supply the car with power.
