2. Introduction
In an era where energy conservation has become the
latest topic of discussion, fuel efficiency along with
minimum pollution has become the benchmark for
any new automobile.
And in the same context Hybrid cars come as the latest
addition.

3. Content
Definition.
Components.
Types of hybrid car.
Advantages.
Disadvantages.

4. Definition of Hybrid
Hybrid car is a combination of the two or more source of
power, such as gasoline and a rechargeable battery.

5. Components of Hybrid Car
 Gasoline Engine.
 Fuel Tank.
 Electric Motor.
 Generator.
 Batteries.
Transmission.

6. Gasoline Engine
The hybrid car has an engine just like most other cars.
However the hybrid’s engine is smaller than a normal
engine and uses advanced technologies to reduce
emissions and increase efficiency.

7. Fuel Tank
The fuel tank in a hybrid is the energy storage device for
the gasoline engine. This is where the gas you put in your
tank is kept.

8. Electric Motor
The electric motor is very sophisticated in hybrids.
 Advanced electronics allow for it to act as a motor as well
as a generator.
 It is able to draw energy from the batteries to accelerate
the car, but it is also able to slow the car down and return
energy to the batteries.

9. Generator
 The generator is similar to the electric motor, but it acts
only to produce electrical power.

10. Batteries
 The batteries in a hybrid car are the energy storage device
for the electric motor. The electric motor from a hybrid
can put energy into the batteries as well as draw energy
from them.

11. Transmission
 Transmission on a hybrid performs the same as a
transmission on our cars.
How a transmission works is that it takes power from the
engine or motor and sends to the driveshaft which turns
axle to move car.

12. Type of hybrid car
 Parallel hybrid car.
 Series hybrid car.

13. Parallel hybrid car
 Fuel tank supplies gasoline to the engine and a set of
batteries.
 Both of these supply power to the electric motor.
Both can turn the transmission at the same time.

14. Series hybrid car
Gasoline engine turns the generator.
 Generator either charges batteries or powers an
electric motor which powers the transmission.
The gasoline NEVER directly powers the vehicle.

15. Advantages
 Less emission, particularly pollutants such as carbon
monoxide that are leading to global warming.
 Sometimes emissions can be reduced up to 30% by
driving a hybrid car.
Quieter.
Regenerative braking system stores electrical energy in
batteries.
Less dependence on fossil fuels.

16. Disadvantages
 More expensive.
 Needs high fuel cost to be worthwhile.
Could cost more to repair.
Extra maintenance items.
Some hybrids need special tires.

17. Conclusion
 Hybrid cars are definitely more environmentally
friendly than internal-combustion vehicles and helps
in ‘green house effect’ and to increase efficiency.
 Batteries are being engineered to have a long life.
