Nowadays,fuel prices are rising insanely.So conventional fuel car would not actually give u a perfect balance to the fuel bills.So today's latest technologies unveils the hybrid engines for vehicles.

Hybrid Vehicles divided by,
1.gasoline-electric hybrid car
2.Dielsel-electric hybrid car
3.Fuel-eletric hybrid car

All of above vehicle uses the parallel method power transmission to operate.Every hybrid vehicle will use a electric motor and the gasoline engine to operate.The electric engine motor will act as a mechanism to return back the lost power back to the battery pack,while the additional acceleration will form by the Gasoline engine.So,the gasoline engine will act as the main power source while the electric motor uses the battery pack to work.

• Gasoline engine - The hybrid car has a gasoline engine much like the one you will find on most cars. However, the engine on a hybrid is smaller and uses advanced technologies to reduce emissions and increase efficiency.

• Fuel tank - The fuel tank in a hybrid is the energy storage device for the gasoline engine. Gasoline has a much higher energy density than batteries do. For example, it takes about 1,000 pounds of batteries to store as much energy as 1 gallon (7 pounds) of gasoline.

• Electric motor - The electric motor on a hybrid car is very sophisticated. Advanced electronics allow it to act as a motor as well as a generator. For example, when it needs to, it can draw energy from the batteries to accelerate the car. But acting as a generator, it can slow the car down and return energy to the batteries.

• Generator - The generator is similar to an electric motor, but it acts only to produce electrical power. It is used mostly on series hybrids (see below).

• Batteries - The batteries in a hybrid car are the energy storage device for the electric motor. Unlike the gasoline in the fuel tank, which can only power the gasoline engine, the electric motor on a hybrid car can put energy into the batteries as well as draw energy from them.

• Transmission - The transmission on a hybrid car performs the same basic function as the transmission on a conventional car. Some hybrids, like the Honda Insight, have conventional transmissions. Others, like the Toyota Prius, have radically different ones, which we'll talk about later.
