What sets a hybrid car apart from a petrol or diesel vehicle?
A hybrid vehicle is powered by two energy sources-a petrol engine which is supplemented by an electric motor. They are combined in such a way that each power source takes the role it’s most efficient at performing to maximise the strengths of both. Depending on driving conditions and need, they operate cooperatively or independently delivering a seamless, dynamic drive with maximum performance and far improved fuel efficiency with minimum emissions. In all other respects, a hybrid car is like most other vehicles youll come across. They drive like regular automatic cars, they use unleaded fuel, have the same luggage capabilities, and drive under the same weather conditions. In fact, apart from the sound of silence when the car is running on electric power alone and the potential for significant fuel savings, most drivers are unlikely to notice any significant difference to the running of a hybrid car.
