HYBRID CARS

HYBRID CARS

A hybrid car features a small fuel-efficient gas engine combined with an electric motor that assists the engine when accelerating. The electric motor is powered by batteries that recharge automatically while you drive.

Why is it good? The eco-friendly Civic also reduces

emissions by shutting down its engine at traffic lights, starting it again the moment the driver plonks his foot onto the accelerator.

Smaller and good Advanced aero-dynamics to reduce

drag

Issue 1: Cost

Costs a lot to assemble car Therefore have to sell at higher

price

Our suggestions..

Car companies can liaise with governments to provide subsidies or tax exemptions for hybrid car buyers

Government can provide funding for improvement in technology

Issue 2: Technology is relatively new

Not many people are willing to embrace this new technology

Our suggestions..

Bring about awareness through competitions & campaigns E.g. Subaru Car Challenge

Issue: Competition

Alternative eco-friendly choices to hybrid cars E.g. Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars E.g. Solar-powered Cars E.g. Natural Gas Cars E.g. Gas-to-liquid Cars

Our counter-argument..

Hybrid cars are a transition from petrol cars to the other alternatives.

Hybrid cars can travel faster Beats gas-to-liquid cars (45kmph)

Hybrid cars can travel more 29.5km per litre of petrol
