With the price of fuel as high as it has been in the past few years, people have finally had all they could take from the greedy oil companies. The demand for less expensive fuel saving cars has finally arrived and it is no wonder why auto manufacturers as well as the sales lots cannot keep enough Hybrids in stock.

For many people it really does not matter what the name of the vehicle is, they just want something cheap on fuel that will get them out of the gas stations. The auto manufactures worldwide, and hybrid auto dealers have become an answer to everyone’s prayers. Not only Toyota, but Chevrolet, Honda, Ford, Nissan , and others have developed much better hybrid engines that produce little or no emissions.
A hybrid electric vehicle combines a conventional propulsion system and a rechargeable energy storage system for more fuel economy. These HEV’s have an additional electric motor, that engages when the car is stopped at a red light or while you are waiting in traffic, or at a railroad crossing. The electric engine charges the batteries until you begin to pick up speed and the gasoline motor then kicks in. This results in more miles per gallon of gasoline .
In the 1990’s, the Honda Insight and the Toyota Prius became available as these HEV’s had a direct linkage from the ICE to the driven wheels for greater acceleration. Honda Hybrid then developed the Civic Hybrid that did not look any different from a normal vehicle, but was able to take the road with 50 mpg (21 km/l/60 mpg).
In the early 2000’s people began to see developments in hybrid automobiles, with some even having plug ins. France was the first to produce a PHEV in 2003, as they introduced the Renault Kangaroo .
2005 saw a high demand for hybrid sports utility vehicles, because people wanted a hybrid that was large enough to carry cargo, and/ or their families. This spurred the movement for all the auto manufactures that quickly answered that demand (i.e., hybrid luxury SUVs ). The Ford Escape Hybrid , and the Toyota Highlander, as well as the Lexus RX 400h came out that year.
2007 saw the introduction of the Toyota Camry Hybrid, and the Nissan Altima Hybrid. 2008 has seen 15 new hybrids just in this year. And for the future of Hybrid cars, in the year 2010 we will see two new hybrids. These two special hybrids are going to be PHEV’s, the Tesla Roadster, manufactured a two seat, electric motor, that plug into an AC outlet, and it gets a whopping 0 to 60 acceleration rate in 3 seconds. The second PHEV that you will see on the sales room floor will be the new Chevrolet Volt, a three seater that will get 40 to 640 miles by recharging the Lithium Ion batteries when they run low.
If you haven’t purchased a hybrid vehicle yet, just ask yourself; how much money do I want to spend in high fuel bills, before you realize you could be saving money, with a hybrid vehicle?
