There are numerous vehicles available nowadays that claim to help the environment and many people are becoming more conscious and actually doing their bit by purchasing these type of vehicles.
Hybrid cars generally use a combination of two power sources. The most common hybrids currently available on the market use both electric motors and the petrol combustion engines. Batteries charge and act as a storage device to power an electric motor, usually working when the vehicle is travelling at low speed or in traffic, therefore ideal for city driving. The petrol engine, usually a small efficient unit then powers the car when more power is needed such as at higher speeds allowing the combustion engine to only operate at its more optimum efficient speeds. A number of manufactures have announced plans for diesel-electric hybrids which could be available a soon as 2008.
The combustion engine is used to recharge the battery cells along with regenerative braking, therefore hybrid cars do not need to be plugged into an external power supply. This combination of battery power and internal combustion engine produces less pollution and CO2 as no gases are released when the electric motor is running.
Some insurers are now actively encouraging people to be more environmentally conscious by offering cheaper premiums. There are others out there however, that are not actively publicising it yet so it still pays to shop around.
