Some Of The Feature Of Hybrid Cars
| In the age of shocking gasoline price, auto industry spends billion of dollars each year to improve its fuel efficiency technology. Hybrid car is invented to address these concerns. Here are some of the new features of hybrid cars. |

Regenerative Braking:
Modern mass produced hybrid cars often integrate regenerative braking into their vehicles. Regenerative brake is a mechanism that designs to reduce the automobile speed by converting its kinetic energy into electric energy. Hybrid car that use regenerative braking will feed the generated electricity back into the supply system like battery and air conditioning. The kinetic energy that is absorbed by regenerative braking is stored in bank of capacitors or a battery for later use. Regenerative braking should not be confused with dynamic braking, which dissipates the electrical energy as heat
Small And Efficient Engine:
Most hybrid cars try to reduce the weight and size of their engine by using a lightweight aluminum body. For instance, the engine of Honda Insight weights only 56 kg ( 124 pounds).
Power Split Device:
Power split device is a clever designed gearbox that connects electric motor, gasoline engine, and generator together. Power split device allow electric motor and gas engine to work together in parallel. The electric motor can empower the vehicle by itself, and gas engine can empower the vehicle by itself. Or they may work together to empower your hybrid cars.
