There are many future hybrid cars on the horizon that promise to keep improving environmental and economic benefits offered. Here is a brief summary of some of these promising technologies:
• Plug-in hybrids use large electric battery that allow the car to be driven at high and low speeds using only electric power, improved fuel efficiency by 40% compared to conventional hybrids and emitters of greenhouse gas emissions and lesspoisonous. Batteries can be loaded into a single outlet, and some even carried the load when the vehicle brakes, improved fuel efficiency even more. Today, high prices of the main bar for a greater application of technology, although federal and state governments are promoting the purchase of plug-in hybrids by offering tax credits to early adopters.
• Flex-fuel is the future of hybrid car models with an internal combustion engine can run on gasoline or E85, a fuel substitute consisting of 85% ethanol (made from plants like corn) and 15% gasoline. However, the supply of ethanol and other biofuels are not enough to ensure that flexible fuel vehicles can be economically viable.
• use of hybrid diesel internal combustion engines that run on clean diesel fuel instead of gasoline, better fuel efficiency than conventional gas-hybrid version, while reducing toxic emissions. E diesel hybrids are more powerful than conventional hybrids. The current obstacle to overcome is the high cost of clean diesel technology, which translates into more expensive hybrid cars.
• Hybrid Hydrogen is considered one of the most promising technologies for creating real zero-emissions vehicles. The key to the success of this technology is the development of a storage medium to the hydrogen is stored in the vehicle for use as fuel. However, apart from the cost of the technology, the wider use of hybrid hydrogen is also hampered by the lack of widespread refueling infrastructure. And many manufacturers see the development of a successful hybrid hydrogen car is not an end in itself but as the bridge to the hydrogen-powered fuel cell hybrid vehicles.
• Fuel cell hybrid batteries powered by hydrogen fuel to generate electricity that powers the car to be produced. However, the prospects for the future of hybrid car models that use fuel cells are still uncertain automakers have many obstacles, such as reduced size and weight of the fuel cell to overcome, and the high cost of technology.
