Hybrid Car: A Dream come true

At the start of the century, people are becoming more aware of the impacts of human activity on the environment. Threats of global warming, climate change, and air pollution fill in the airwaves and newspaper headlines. World leaders are also expounding on the importance of taking care of the planet. So much so that there are now monumental documents about environmental protection being put forward, like Kyoto Protocol.

Nowadays, car companies are pitching in their help to the environment with the development of hybrid car. As it is, this vehicle is touted as the dream come true. For one, it provides people the means of transportation without worrying about the pollutants from car smoke mufflers. It is a great alternative to petroleum-powered vehicles that were in production for the past sixty years.

A hybrid car makes it possible for world with lesser carbon emission. Cars that are using fossil fuel as primary and only source of power for the vehicle are producing high levels of carbon to the air. On the other hand, the hybrid car is using electricity, hydrogen, natural gas, or other alternative energy sources to power the vehicle. The carbon content of the exhaust would therefore be minimized.

Classification of Hybrid Car: The Electric Vehicle

A hybrid car comes in many designs. It can be powered by solar energy through the use of solar cell panels inlayed on its roof. It can also be powered by chemical means; for example, hydrogen and natural gas have been harnessed and processed as fuel cells. However the most popular and the most in-demand design is the hybrid electric vehicle.

A hybrid electric vehicle combines the energy provided by conventional internal combustion system and rechargeable energy storage system. It needs petrol to engage the engine for propulsion and at the same time, it needs electricity to power various states of motion of the vehicle.

One of the prime examples of a hybrid car of this type is the Toyota’s Prius. Sleek, elegant, and classy, it boosts off a regenerative braking system, start-stop system, and other petroleum fuel efficiency systems.

The Prius car is a mid-size hybrid car. This has been Toyota’s moneymaker since it was launched in 1997, with sales reportedly up to one million units. Because of its design in fuel and electricity usage, the Environmental Protection Agency recognized it as the most efficient vehicle in terms of fuel consumption ever produced and distributed in United States of America.

What is a hybrid car?

What is a hybrid car? Car hobbyists and ordinary people have come to know about it as an emerging trend in automotive designing. It has become famous because some of countries have aggressively suggesting it to car owners. Even governments have joined in the fray. The New York Police District has been using Prius hybrid vehicle for all its police cars.

A hybrid car is a vehicle that uses two or more sources of energy for it to move. In conventional cars, the combustion engine only gulps in and processes gasoline as a sole source of power. The problem with the design is that gasoline is not anymore cheap than it used to be in the 60’s or 70’s. In addition, gasoline does not burn completely. The residues or exhausts are scientifically been blamed for air pollution.

The hybrid car on the other hand can use other alternatives to gasoline to power the vehicle. There are models now that use electricity. What the car owner needs to do is to charge or recharge the battery when the power is deficient. Other models use solar energy, with the roofs of the car covered with solar cells to capture sunlight as the car moves.
