Hybrid Vehicles

1. Introduction
• Hybrid cars are powered by two engines: one petrol,
one electric. Both work with each other to spin the
wheels. This leads to lesser petrol being burned and
therefore better fuel efficiency. When compared to
conventional vehicles, hybrids offer better power and
fuel efficiency as they combine the benefits of high
fuel efficiency and low emissions. When hybrid
vehicles are cruising or while braking, the result is
excess power which is used to charge the batteries.
This, in turn, aids higher fuel efficiency or range.
