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.

LA Auto Show Begins This Week - Show Me the Hybrids
 The Los Angeles Auto Show kicks off this week and I'm hoping it will have a good showing of hybrid vehicles this year, especially since California is home to two of the largest hybrid car markets in the United States. Although there may be some new hybrids to see, the beloved Honda Insight hybrid car will be missing from this year's show, since Honda ended production this fall.
Among other upcoming announcements that will be made at the LA Auto show, there are rumblings that General Motors is "preparing to detail its commitment to new fuel-saving technologies, including new electric vehicles..". While that may or may not include new news about hybrids, it will still be an interesting story to watch.

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.

2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid Car Photo Gallery
 The 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid photo gallery is now available for your viewing pleasure. For now it is mostly exterior shots, but it still gives you a pretty good idea of what's to come from Nissan's first foray into the hybrid car market.
I'm still not so sure about the "light green" color of the car used for these photos. It may seem like a cool color now, but I'm not sure how it will viewed in the future. Perhaps a little too trendy?2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid Car Photo Gallery originally appeared on About.com Hybrid Cars on Monday, November 20th, 2006 at 23:46:25. Permalink | Comment | Email this

Here's a fact on hybrid vehicles:
Mild hybrids are essentially conventional vehicles with oversized starter motors, allowing the engine to be turned off whenever the car is coasting, braking, or stopped, yet restart quickly and cleanly. Accessories can continue to run on electrical power while the engine is off, and as in other hybrid designs, the motor is used for regenerative braking to recapture energy. The larger motor is used to spin up the engine to operating rpm speeds before injecting any fuel
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.
