New demand of auto market hybrid cars

Let’s welcome ‘hybrid car‘ as a new age car. Such cars are powered on both gasoline and electricity. Though, these are symbols of development in automobile segment but fuel price hikes and our degrading eco-system have also influenced automakers to develop such cars.

HEV or we can say ‘hybrid electric vehicle‘ is powered with an internal combustion engine and an electric motor.

HEV introduced in 1990′s. Now, in the auto market, two categories of HEV vehicles (parallel and the series hybrid cars) are available.

Parallel hybrid cars are those cars that can use both forms of energies either gasoline or electric or both. On the other hand, series hybrid cars are compatible with gasoline alone. The major function of electric motors in such cars is to regenerate energy. It also controls breaking system of the car and it accumulates and conserves energy whenever breaks are applied.

Usually, our cars burn fuel even if it is not moving. Fuel mileage on highway with such cars remains up to 60 miles a gallon.

The New Wave Of Hybrid Vehicles

Ever since the automobile of the gas-powered cars were introduced to the market in 1880s, car makers from around the world have been constantly aiming to introduce revolutionary and new modifications of cars.
Electric cars were developed by several car manufacturers. Electric cars were the first attempt of car makers to address the rising and evoking concerns over environmental degradation and soaring oil prices.
The electric cars has greater setbacks, so humungous that the adverse shortcomings and product limitations were offset at greater levels by its uses and advantages.
The car makers were really determined enough to come up with better cars that would address the issues revolving from pollutants and oil consumption.The electric cars provided the templates that were used to develop another type of the hybrid cars.
There are many hybrid cars information available, especially on their features, engine specifications, designs, colors and much other dizzying information. Information from the manufacturer’s website are also good source of needed preliminary knowledge on hybrid cars. But one of the most interesting array of information, and one that honest opinion or feelings about hybrid vehicles may be glimpsed is a consumer reports on hybrid cars.
Some consumer reports say hybrid cars are practical; some don’t. The bottom line is, consumer reports are exactly what they are: consumer reports. The same Consumer Reports compared the 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid car, which consumes 36 miles per gallon and worth $21,000, with the 2003 Honda Civic EX, which consumes 29 miles per gallon and worth $18,500 a unit on the average.
