Hybrid car is a new type of vehicle that runs on electricity (from a battery) and gasoline. It is created as an affordable and innovative way to help protect our environment and benefit from the increased fuel mileage.

A hybrid car has a small engine that is fuel efficient, which is combined with an electric motor that helps the engine when extra power is needed during acceleration. The electric motor gets its power from battery banks which continuously charge while you are driving.

Energy is conserved when you stop because the engine is shut off automatically. Then, when you apply gas, it automatically restarts.

The hybrid car also uses a more advanced aerodynamic lightweight body, and combines it with low roll resistant tires that are stiffer and narrower to help reduce drag.

A few years ago talk of hybrid cars had consumers stepping back unsure, but today hybrids offer a practical choice for consumers, and more and more consumers are jumping on board.
