What is a hybrid?
The dictionary defines a something of mixed origin. hybrid as

A hybrid car is a passenger vehicle that is driven by a hybrid engine, which is an engine that combines two or more sources of power, generally gasoline and electricity.

Cars that burn fossil fuels such gasoline, emit toxic byproducts an greenhouse gases into t atmosphere when they are powered

Types of hybrid cars

There are two types of gasoline-electric hybrids: Parallel hybrid Series hybrid

How parallel hybrid cars work

Parallel Gasoline engine and electric motor work together to move the car forward. Series Gasoline engine either directly powers an electric motor that powers the vehicle, or charges batteries that will power the battery

How do hybrid cars work?

The hybrid vehicle typically achieves greater fuel economy and lower emissions than conventional vehicles. Relying on both the engine according to needs, resulting in a smaller engine size, a smaller engine have lower weight. Both produce much less pollution than standard gasoline cars Both produce much less power generally between 60-90hp (the average gasoline engine produces double that)

How do hybrid cars work?

Constructed of ultra lightweight materials like carbon fiber or aluminum. Both are generally designed to be more aerodynamic than most cars, allowing them to slice through the air instead of pushing it out of the way

Hybrid vehicles can reduce air emissions of smogforming pollutants by up to 90% and cut carbon dioxide emissions in half.

How do hybrid cars work?

Both use a process called regenerative braking (normally wasted as heat) that reduces vehicle speed and converts some of the kinetic energy to electricity. It uses speeds. electric power at starts and stops, low

Hybrid cars use the gasoline engine at cruising or highway speeds

Other hybrid terminology

Full Hybrid: Can move solely on electric power

Mild Hybrid: Requires at least some gasoline to power the transmission Stop-Start Hybrids: Use electric power only while idling or during vehicle deceleration

Hybrid Cars release a small quantity of emissions during low speed city driving and traffic jams.

 Does Hybrid meets future vehicle requirements Good performance High efficiency Low environmental impacts Cost effective

High Cost/Price is still a big issue to be solved.

 Other techniques that are not necessarily 'hybrid' features, but that are frequently found on hybrid vehicles include: Shutting down the engine during traffic stops or while coasting or during other idle periods Improving aerodynamics (part of the reason that SUVs get such bad fuel economy is the drag on the car. A box shaped car or truck has to exert more force to move through the air causing more stress on the engine making it work harder). Improving the shape and aerodynamics of a car is a good way to help better the fuel economy and also improve handling at the same time. Using low rolling resistance tires (tires were often made to give a quiet, smooth ride, high grip, etc., but efficiency was a lower priority). Tires cause mechanical drag, once again making the
