A vehicle is a hybrid if it utilizes more than one form of on board energy to achieve propulsion. In practice, that means a hybrid will have a traditional internal-combustion engine and a fuel tank, as well as one or more electric motors and a battery pack.
Hybrid cars are sometimes mistakenly confused with electric vehicles. Hybrids are most often gasoline-burning machines that utilize their electric bits to collect and reuse energy that normally goes to waste in standard cars. Theoretically, diesel-electric hybrids would be even more fuel-efficient, but hybrid systems and diesel engines both represent extra cost. So far, installing both in the same vehicle has proven to be prohibitively expensive.The chief advantages of a hybrid are that it uses less fuel and emits less CO2 than most conventional non-hybrid vehicles. Because of this, owners also get …show more content…

There are three main types of hybrid, but all of them drive much like a conventional automatic …show more content…

Mostly the word hybrid car is used by the people for the hybrid electric vehicles. However, hybrid cars also use other mechanism or energy resources to move one. Common different power resources include: compressed or liquefied natural gas (CNG/LNG); electricity; hydrogen; solar; wind, etc. Hybrid cars can be best described as dual mode vehicles that include an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. In most of the countries the trend of hybrid cars is increasing day by day because hybrid cars are environment pollution free vehicles and are less expensive as compare to normal or regular
