The hybrid vehicle is truly an innovation. A hybrid vehicle uses multiple energy sources or propulsion systems to provide motive power. This most commonly refers to gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles, which use gasoline (petrol) and electric batteries for the energy used to power internal-combustion engines (ICEs) and electric motors. These powerplants are usually relatively small and would be considered "underpowered" by themselves, but they can provide a normal driving experience when used in combination during acceleration and other maneuvers that require greater power.
We hope to get into comparisons and discussions on the site for you.

Saturn Aura Green Line Hybrid Car Profile
The 2007 Saturn Aura Green Line was unveiled at the LA Auto show and so I've written up the details that we know about this new hybrid car. You can find the information in my new
Saturn Aura Green Line Hybrid Car Profile. Finally, it looks like consumers will have the ability to choose a hybrid sedan made by one of the American auto manufacturers.

Toyota Seeks Extended Hybrid Car Tax Credits
 Under the current federal tax credits for hybrid cars the tax breaks start to phase out once a manufacturer reaches a certain threshold of vehicles sold. Well, Toyota, with its popular Prius and other hybrid vehicles, has reached that threshold, and is now asking congress to extend the hybrid tax credits to encourage more sales of their hybrid vehicles.
Conspiracy theorists would have you believe that the threshold was put in place to specifically penalize sales of foreign made hybrids. (Toyota/Lexus are the only one's having their tax credit amount's decreased.) I guess I'm not as paranoid, and can understand why Toyota is working so hard to keep the hybrid car tax credits going for its hybrids.

Share Your Future Car Ideas With PBS' Nova
 PBS is looking for input from its audience for an upcoming Nova episode called Car of the Future. PBS is taking feedback on all aspects of the production process and is looking for ideas. Of course the show will cover hybrid cars, but it will also cover technologies such as ethanol, hydrogen and more.
I know I'll be giving them my two cents worth...as soon as they get their PBS E-mail feedback page operating!Share Your Future Car Ideas With PBS' Nova originally appeared on About.com Hybrid Cars on Monday, December 4th, 2006 at 21:58:36. Permalink | Comment | Email this

Here's a fact on hybrid vehicles:
Honda, which offers Insight, Civic and Accord hybrids, sold 26,773 hybrids in the first 11 months of last year alone. Toyota has sold a cumulative 306,862 hybrids between 1997 and Nov. 2004 and Honda has sold a total of 81,867 hybrids between 1999 and November 2004
A gas-electric hybrid engine is a combination of a gasoline/petrol or diesel internal combustion engine with an electric motor to power a vehicle. Various designs exist for how the motor and engine interact with the drive train. Because the engine recharges the battery smaller batteries are required than in an electric vehicle.
A standard combustion engine is required to operate over a range of speed and power, yet its highest efficiency is in a narrow range of operation. Also, an engine designed for a reduced operating range can be more efficient than a standard engine. The battery storage and electric motor allows the engine to operate at its point of maximum efficiency, to be of a higher efficiency design, and to be smaller than non-hybrid applications.
The gas-electric hybrid uses less gasoline than conventional internal combustion engines and does not have the limitations in range that have been a problem for traditional electric vehicles. This type of piston engine is used in hybrid electric vehicles which have begun to enter the market as of 2002.
