What is a Hybrid ? What are the advantages?
Not sure what a Hybrid is?
A Hybrid car has two motors, one may be petrol or Diesel and then an electric motor. Each Hybrid will have a big battery to store energy which is then used to power the electric motor.
You will see a lot of hybrid cars being used in city centres like Manchester as hybrids can offer cheaper road tax and mainly use the electric motor when at lower speeds. Using the electric motor in a city is better for the environment as the car isn’t burning any fuels and emitting it into the air.
Why people buy hybrids?
With global warming on the rise many people go for a hybrid to protect the environment, reduce emissions, cheaper running costs and to save natural resources. Over the past decade many manufacturers have been developing energy saving hybrid cars as this is where the future is heading.
Some of the best hybrid cars on the market can give you over 200MPG, this is a very positive factor of owning a hybrid car, reducing the amount of times you have to stop at a fuel station.

- Less times at the fuel station
