the engine automatically shuts off when the vehicles comes to a stop, such as at the traffic
light, and restarts when the driver puts the car in motion. At the medium or high speeds
typical or highway driving ,HEV operates on its more powerful gasonline engine. The
electric motor provides additional power as needed to help the gasoline engine to increase
speed or climbs hills. This allows a smaller, more efficient gasoline engine to be used .As a
result , HEVs use about half as much gasoline as traditional vehicles.
There are also immediate environmental benefits to driving HEVs. Electricity, unlike
gasonline , is a clean energy source that does not release harmful gases into the air.
Because HEVs use only half as much gasonline as traditional vehicles, they create about
half as much pollution.Moreover, the electricity used by HEVs can be generated by
renewable recources such as solar and geothermal energy.

daily,imagine the gas ub your car lasting you twice as long. You could cut your gas
expenses in half. In addition, some government offer special tax deductions to owners of
HEVs.
Most major carmakers are now producing hydrid option of some of their most popular
vehicles models. Based on their growing popularity, it looks like HEVs may be the next big
thing in stransportation technology.
