Introduction
A hybrid vehicle combines any two power (energy) sources. Possible combinations include diesel/electric, gasoline/fly wheel, and fuel cell (FC)/battery. Typically, one energy source is storage, and the other is conversion of a fuel to energy. The combination of two power sources may support two separate propulsion systems. Thus to be a True hybrid, the vehicle must have at least two modes of propulsion.
For example, a truck that uses a diesel to drive a generator, which in turn drives several electrical motors for all-wheel drive, is not a hybrid . But if the truck has electrical energy storage to provide a second mode, which is electrical assists, then it is a hybrid Vehicle.
These two power sources may be paired in series, meaning that the gas engine charges the batteries of an electric motor that powers the car, or in parallel, with both mechanisms driving the car directly.
What is a Hybrid Vehicle?
A hybrid car is a vehicle that runs on gasoline engine as well as rechargeable battery.
Why was the hybrid car developed?
The hybrid car was invented to help people save money when the gas prices get to high for them to handle. The hybrids car was also invented to protect the quality of air because it lets out less harmful emissions and to save natural and nonrenewable resources.

How dose a Hybrid Car Work ?
A gasoline-electric hybrid car has both an electric motor and a gasoline motor, it also consists of a rechargeable battery for the electric engine. Inside the hybrid car the two motors that work together to put the vehicle in motion. The gas in the car is used to power the gasoline engine and the “electric batteries supply power to the car’s electric motors”.
During breaking,it also converts kinetic energy into electric energy to power up batteries.
What makes a Hybrid Car Unique?
What makes a hybrid car unique is that it consists of a gasoline engine, electric engine and rechargeable batteries. All of these items work together to form a fuel efficient car that produces less pollution.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages:
*It save the fuel due to battery assisted engine.
*When the car is stopped the kinetic energy gained is stored in the battery and
used for later
*Less exhaust therefore it is environment friendly
*Money is saved due to less fuel use for cars
Disadvantages:
“*High cost
*Heavy because of heavy batteries used in these cars
*Risky in accidents because of the high volt wires exposed in accidents”

Conclusion
It will save the environment even more. Most people wouldn’t buy a hybrid car because or the cost or how they look, but sooner or later it will be the car of choice.
