This car is assembled under limited resources , inspite of that it is very nice one.
Feature of Hybrid Car
Fuel consumption and emissions reductions The hybrid vehicle typically achieves greater fuel economy and
lower emissions than conventional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), resulting in fewer emissions
being generated. These savings are primarily achieved by three elements of a typical hybrid design:
* relying on both the engine and the electric motors for peak power needs, resulting in a smaller engine sized more
for average usage rather than peak power usage. A smaller engine can have less internal losses and lower weight.
which is represented by the city driving cycle.
reduces vehicle speed by converting some of its kinetic energy into electricity, depending upon the power rating of the motor/generator;
A box shaped car or truck has to exert more force to move through the air causing more stress on the engine
making it work harder). Improving the shape and aerodynamics of a car is a good way to help better the fuel
economy and also improve handling at the same time.
but efficiency was a lower priority). Tires cause mechanical drag, once again making the engine work harder,
consuming more fuel. Hybrid cars may use special tires that are more inflated than regular tires and stiffer
or by choice of carcass structure and rubber compound have lower rolling resistance while retaining acceptable
grip, and so improving fuel economy whatever the power source.
this reduces mechanical losses when compared with driving them continuously with traditional engine belts.
These features make a hybrid vehicle particularly efficient for city traffic where there are frequent stops, coasting and idling periods.
In addition noise emissions are reduced, particularly at idling and low operating speeds, in comparison to conventional engine vehicles.
For continuous high speed highway use these features are much less useful in reducing emissions.
