Imagining life without vehicles can be really difficult. They are absolutely necessary for commuting. Many prefer to use their own vehicle and many opt for the public transportation modes. A world without vehicles is hard to imagine. The invention and improvement of vehicles are definitely main reasons behind global development. Prior to the invention of cars and other vehicles, transporting goods used to be tough and hectic task. Countries were detached and communities hardly mingled with each other. This led to class differentiation and cultural discord. Vehicles have bridged the gap between nations and states. But at the same time vehicles contribute hugely to global pollution. Hybrid cars are a solution to the increasing rates of air pollution caused by cars.
What are Hybrid Vehicles?
Vehicles which have both combustion engine and electric motor are classified as Hybrid Vehicles. Generally cars either use fuels or use electricity for functioning. This type of cars uses both electricity and fossil fuels for running. The electric motors get power from the highly capable electric batteries and the combustion engine is powered by either petrol or diesel. These types of cars are also called Green Cars due to their low negative impact on the environment.
How does this type of car help the environment?
- Less dependence on fossil fuels: There are two ways in which dependence of fossil fuels can be damaging to both nature and our lives. Firstly fossil fuel resources are limited and they will diminish soon. Secondly, fossil fuels are dangerous for our environment. It has to be burnt by the combustion engine for producing energy that will drive the car. Another vital point is that fossil fuel prices are increasing very fast. The Hybrid Cars are efficient in reducing the use of fossil fuels like petrol or diesel. This way you save money and environment at the same time.
- Reduction of global pollution and climate control: The vehicles churn out lots of harmful chemicals into the air. The cars powered by gas are the most dangerous ones. The usage of such vehicles poses serious threat to our environment. The Hybrid cars can decrease the amount of pollutants let out into the air. Due to the heat produced by vehicles the global temperatures are raising. This way climate will change drastically, bringing natural disaster.
- Less cost: The technically improved Hybrid cars do not use as much gas as other cars. They are very fuel efficient and give better mileage. In some cars, the internal combustion engine is capable of producing electric current for powering the electric motor and you will not have to buy fuels as frequently as you do now.
