 * Hybrid cars that run on one hundred percent pure hydrogeon really have absolutely zero emmisions.

 * Hybrid cars that run on pure hydrogeon do not emit any heat locking gasses that contibute to global warming. In my opinion i think that global warming is a hoax for new technology. I believe that global warming is actually just climate change.
 * Brian Liepinis
 * ** A hybrid car has a gasoline engine like the cars that we have now. However the hybrids gasoline engine is a lot smaller. The reason the engine is smaller is to use more advanced technologies, to reduce emissions and increase efficiency. By Dustin Edwards **


 * ** The advanced electric motor in hybrid allow the engine to act like a motor and as a generator. As you slow down the generator charges everything including the engine. By Dustin Edwards **

Hybrid cars are cars which run on rechargeable batteries and gasoline engines, rather than just a gasoline engine. As the car uses batteries they help in reducing the fuel emissions since the car runs on batteries when you are accelerating.

Here are some interesting facts about hybrid cars.

The world’s first hybrid car was the "Mixte", which was built by Ferdinand Porsche in 1902.

Earlier hybrid cars were called as “Semper Vivus” which meant “always alive”.

The first commercial hybrid car was Toyota Prius which was manufactured in Japan in 1997.

Hybrid cars are the good for the environment, when the world is facing issues like global warming. It reduces almost 90% of the smog which is released to the environment. And even the gasoline used is less when compared to the normal conventional cars.

Hybrid cars are very economical, as they give you 50-60 miles per gallon, and uses just one third of gas which is used by conventional cars.

Hybrid cars do not require any plug-in. They get recharged automatically as you drive.

Hybrid cars have lower depreciation rates when compared to other gasoline cars. So they will be in demand for many years to come.

The United States government offers a tax rebate for people who are using hybrid cars.

Though hybrid cars are made of very expensive parts, they also come with warranties, which promise free replacement.

Hybrid cars are not only preferred by environmentalists but also by capitalists because of the amount it saves on gasoline.

Buying a hybrid car is a sound investment as they have an excellent resale value.

When the heavy HEV developments began in the early 1990’s it is said that some of the major manufacturers donated billions of dollars towards the research of hybrid technology.

Hybrid technology exists from many years, it was used in mopeds which united the gasoline engine and power pedals, it was used in locomotives, submarines, mining trucks and others.

Hybrid cars top the order in fuel efficiency for two-seater and mid sized cars.

They are very quiet when the run, as they run most of the times of batteries.

The speed of a hybrid car is as fast as any conventional car.

The Prudential Equity Group has said that 80,000 hybrid cars were sold in the US in 2004.

J.D. Powers reports that 256,000 hybrid cars were sold in the US in 2006.

As the battery pack in the hybrid cars comes in 38 modules, there is no necessity to replace the entire battery which cost you a lot, but instead you can just replace the one which is not working which is inexpensive.

The hybrid technology is targeting at making fuel cells which use oxygen and hydrogen to create electricity, wherein the exhaust of this fuel cell is water which will be so clean that it is fit to drink.

COREY BREWER THE FUTURE OF HYBRIDS

=Pros of Hybrid Vehicles= Hybrid cars carry with them a bundle of advantages. Justin Kinney
 * Hybrids combine clean energy of the electrical motor with the power of the gas-powered engine which results into lower emissions and better mileage.
 * Thanks to the ever improving technology, hybrids perform at par with the normal ga-powered vehicles, if not better.
 * Hybrids are reliable and comfortable as any traditional car and they have a tax benefits(only till 2006).
 * There are purchase incentives for Hybrid vehicle owners (varies by state).
 * Hybrids are much cleaner cars than normal vehicles with lesser CO and other greenhouse gas emissions.
 * Hybrids provide a better mileage.
 * The future for hybrids looks bright with rapid developments in hybrid technology to improve engine efficiency.
 * Due to the Regenerative Braking technology, the batteries need not be charged by an external source.
 * Special warranties are provided for the battery pack, the electric motor other costly items.
 * Hybrids help reduce the dependency on fossil fuels which directely affects fuel prices.

Have you pulled your car up to the gas pump lately and been shocked by the high price of gasoline?
