Yes and no. 2 motor hybrid cars like those used by Toyota and Honda do not have alternators or starters. The hybrid motors cover starting and generating power in addition to providing regenerative braking and forward motion.
In an standard diesel or gasoline car the motors are single function. In hybrids they provide multiple functions and allow simplification in other parts of the vehicle.
