Hybrid

Benefits
Environmental friendly
Supported by many credits and enticements
Hybrids have the same kind of performance
as normal cars
Has a regenerative battery system
Less dependent on foreign oil
Constructed using lighter materials
Uses less fuel-save energy

Problems

Built for economy, not for

speed
Issue of weight-have less
bracing and support in the
suspension and body
Any extra weight causes loss
in fuel efficiency
Weight distribution affects
vehicles performances
Tires and brakes need to be
replaced more frequently
Hybrid cars demands higher
maintenance costs
Presence of high voltage in
batteries

Solutions
By using a
cleaner
electricity
Upgrade to
plug in hybrid
vehicles

Fuel cells are

good
Other energy
storage
technologies,
including
super
capacitors

By using
renewable
sources such
as solar,
geothermal,
wind, and
hydro

Electric
motors are
also
efficient
Better
improvement
s such as
lithium-ion
battery.

Future Hybrid
Plug-in
Hybrid
Electri
c
Vehicle
s

A hybrid electric vehicle

Uses rechargeable batteries or
another energy storage device
Electricity never tend to run out
Regenerative braking
Have smaller and less expensive
battery
Cut global warming pollution as
well as oil consumption.

Future Hybrid
Fuel
Cells
Vehicl
es

A fuel cell is a chemical engine that

produces electricity from hydrogen,
emitting only water vapor.
Steam reforming of fossil fuels using a
nickel as the catalyst
Fuel distribution less complicated.
Fueled with pure hydrogen emit no
pollutants
Twice as efficient as similarly sized
conventional vehicles

Future Hybrid
Advantages

Environment friendly
Fuel efficient
Reduced noise
Better performance
Able to obtain beneficial aids
from the government

Future Hybrid
Expensive due to high maintenance cost
Car tend to be heavier
Less power
Has lower fuel mileage on highway
Has an acceptable risk exposure to high
voltage
Hybrid car batteries can be disposed
