Hybrid vehicles are generally vehicles that operate using two different power sources, and is one of the most frequently used forms a hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV), which uses a combination of an electric motor and a conventional combustion engine. The hybrid is a parallel hybrid, the electric motor and the conventional in such a way that they can individually power the vehicle or work in tandem to install. One example is the Honda Insight. A hybrid can be used as a mild parallel hybrid where a small electrical motor to provide additional power during acceleration and deceleration is produced. Examples of mild parallel hybrids are the Honda Civic and Honda Insight and the BMW 7 Series of hybrid cars.

The fundamental question to be addressed here: Why should we care about alternative energy sources and renewable energy sources? The simple answer is that the car is to drive an activity having a significant impact on climate change is added. Each liter of gasoline is burned, that releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere 20 pounds plus other pollutants such as carbon monoxide and sulfur oxides. Carbon dioxide is one of the main causes for the heat to be trapped in the atmosphere. In the United States, cars and trucks contribute 27 percent of the total carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, fossil fuels such as coal or oil is not renewable, and we will certainly exhaust the resources for a day, although the exact date is disputed. The United States, for example, generates about 70 percent of its electricity from fossil fuels, but only about two percent of clean and renewable energy sources such as wind or solar energy for use, such as underfloor heating.
