Electric Hybrid Car

Introduction

In 1905, Mr. H Piper filed a patent for a gasoline engine-electric engine power train. According to him, the electric driven engine would augment a gasoline motor, allowing a vehicle to accelerate from none to 25 miles an hour in 10 seconds, much faster than the gasoline engines of that time. Ironically, when finally Mr. Piper was granted the patent a couple of year's later, normal engines were capable of making the same kind of acceleration. (McDermott, 2002)

Due to rapid advancements in the gasoline motor, the popularity of a hybrid car slowly diminished until again in the early to mid 1970s, the time of oil crisis. Many companies poured funds to construct experimental Hybrid Electric Vehicles. But as the oil became available again, the surge for HEVs past away down immediately.

You will notice the Europeans and Japanese researching on decreasing output costs and making HEVs more salable. Companies like Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, Mitsubishi came up with ways to decrease emissions and better the mileage. Toyota presented the Prius in 1997 (in Japan and in 2000 in the US) which verified to be a gigantic success. Recent sales figures indicate that well over 300,000 units of Toyota Prius have been sold the world over justifying the notion of a clean family car.

In 1999, Honda presented its first output hybrid car, the Insight and then the Civic Hybrid in 2002. Ford came up with the first hybrid SUV, the Escape, which strike the road in 2004. Quick on their route are some other contestants such as Dodge with their hybrid pickup, the Ram, and chevrolet's Silverado.

Hybrid vehicles are one amidst the undertaking kinds of new lifetime cars. In the present era, the engine vehicle industry is going through a transition phase, which is to rendezvous the pace of the increasing world. Cars are now become inescapable aides for the travel and it is not uncommon to have 2 or 3 cars in a home. And, engine vehicles are now facing the next generation problems of the conventional cars. Moreover, many environmental and power utilization issues are approaching cross. Hybrid cars are evolved with an aim to answer much of these questions, and the success of it in the road make it a favorite alternative of many.(Magnusson, 2001)

You can have any car, which has a combination of two distinct ideas can be called as a hybrid, but the cars, which blend two power sources for its running is popularly named as hybrid car. To be simple, the conventional cars run on a single fuel source such as gasoline, gasoline and diesel. The power effectiveness of the cars was insufficient to rendezvous the future needs, in the highly power depleting situation. The search for alternative resources is intensive and one of them, electric driven cars were a success, but its limitation was the inadequacy for a long propel and adversity for common recharges. Hybrid vehicles were a better solution since it blends the advantages of ...
