electric & hybrid vehicles
Henry David Thoreau once said:" Thank God men can not fly and lay waste the sky as the Earth. " "Today, every single person on this earth to think about how environmentally friendly, and with the rising petrol prices to reflect on one of the new hybrid vehicles is an excellent, environmentally friendly choice.

Environmentalists believe in these new hybrid vehicles. Even the manufacturers realize that consumers want more of these vehicles, and future projections show that there are many alternative fuel cars on the market worldwide. This is the big surprise to see how a few years ago there were only one or two models of this type of vehicle on the market.

A hybrid vehicle is a car that is a combination of an electric vehicle and a gas powered car. They have both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. This type of vehicle stock both gas and electric energy, if it is in use. Today there are two types of hybrid vehicles on the roads, the mild hybrid and full hybrid.

The mild hybrid will be more gas than electricity and the electric motor is only as support for the gas engine. These are not as efficient as the gas is fully hybrid. They are not as environmentally friendly as the full hybrid, but in comparison to normal vessels, they are much more efficient.

The full-hybrid, the electric motor regardless of the gas engine. The full hybrid can be fully on stream, and thus the elimination of harmful emissions, at least during the ride over the city.
