I. Introduction:
✓ Overview Of The Project:
This project is based on the latest technology in automobile (car) industry- HYBRID TECHNOLOGY.
In this project we are going to discuss about the hybrid technology in cars, the impact of hybrid technology on Indian automobile (car) industry, the companies which have adopted and benefited through this technology and the findings & the conclusion.
✓ Hybrid Technology:
A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that uses two or more distinct power sources to move the vehicle.
Power sources include: ▪ On-board or out-board rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) ▪ Gasoline or Diesel fuel ▪ Hydrogen ▪ Compressed air ▪ Human powered e.g. pedaling or rowing ▪ Wind ▪ Compressed or liquefied natural gas ▪ Solar ▪ Coal, wood or other solid combustibles
The term most commonly refers to hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which combine an internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors.
➢ HYBRID CARS:
Hybrid cars are one among the promising types of new generation cars. In the present era, the motor vehicle industry is going through a transition phase, which is to meet the pace of the growing world. Cars are now become inevitable assistants for the travel and it is not uncommon to have 2 or 3 cars in a home. And, motor vehicles are now facing the next generation problems of the conventional cars. Moreover, many environmental and energy utilization issues are coming cross. Hybrid cars are developed with an intention to answer much of these questions, and the success of it in the road make it a favorite choice of many.
Although any car, which has a combination of two different ideas can be called as a hybrid, but the cars, which combine two energy sources for its running is popularly named as hybrid car. To be simple, the conventional cars run on a single fuel source such as gasoline, petrol and diesel. The energy
