Hybrid Vehicles
Do Your Part with Hybrid Vehicles
by Rex Stevenson
A native American proverb says: “We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” Think about it! At this rate what are we leaving our children? In this modern day and age every one of us needs to think of how we are going to contribute to the environment and what we are going to do to stop polluting the environment, and thinking about getting one of those new hybrid vehicles is a step in the right direction.
Environmentalists believe in these new hybrid vehicles. Even manufacturers realize that consumers are demanding more of these vehicles, and future projections are showing that there will be many more alternative fuel cars on the market worldwide. This comes as a big surprise, seeing how just a few years ago there were only one or two models of this type of vehicle on the market.
Hybrids use a combination of gas and electricity. They don’t damage the environment as much and they are great on gas. These cars have both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. They share both gas energy and electric. There are two types of hybrids on the market the full hybrid and the mild hybrid.
Those hybrids that are mild use more gas than electricity. The electric motor in these vehicles is only used as a support system for the engine. These are not as efficient on gas as the cars that are full hybrids. They are also not as environmentally friendly.
True hybrids can function on either electric energy or gasoline independently and when the car works off of electricity then those harmful emissions are not going into the air.
Here is a list of current hybrids on the market:
Cars 1. Toyota makes two vehicles that are hybrids, the Toyota Prius and the Camry. Both of these cars get more than 40 miles per gallon in the city and 40 on the highway. 2. Honda has two hybrid vehicles, the Honda Accord and the Honda civic. The civic gets 49 miles per gallons and the Accord gets 25 MPG. Trucks 1. Chevrolet has the Chevy Silverado Classic 15 which comes in both 2wd and 4wd. This truck gets 18 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway 2. GMC Sierra Classic 15 comes in 2wd and in 4wd and reaches 21 mpg in the city and 18 on the highway.
