HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE

ABSTRACT:

The need to save our planet from increasing pollution and global warming has led to the development of Hybrid Vehicles. An important hybrid vehicle that is expected to hit the market in the next decade is the Fuel cell- battery hybrid vehicle. The practical benefits of HEVs include improved fuel economy and lower emissions compared to conventional vehicles. Use of production HEVs will reduce smog-forming pollutants over the current average. Hybrids will never be true zero emission vehicles, however, because of their internal combustion engine. But the first hybrids on the market will cut emissions of global-warming pollutants by a third to a half, and later models may cut emissions by even more. Hybrid vehicles are the new generation cars, which work on the Dual power mode.

Hybrid vehicles meet the emission standard imposed by the California emissions standards, which allow only 3.4 g/mi of carbon monoxide. Hybrid vehicles are the most promising automobiles of the future they strike a good compromise between the battery powered vehicle and the conventional engine vehicle.

The Honda Insight and the Toyota Prius are two cars available in the market today. Each of the above cars uses different layouts and technology to derive maximum power and performance from the vehicle.
