Most of these running on the roads right now offer you a combination of a gasoline and an electric engine. The electric part of the engine is charged when the vehicle is in use, and the energy is derived from the gasoline. Some of the more combinations of hybrid car are being worked on, improved and produced in the market currently by some of the most famous companies in the production of automobiles. There is a chance that after a few days all the cars that run on the roads might be converted to hybrid engines in order to save fuel for our future generations.
Hybrid cars are fitted with smaller engines which give them many advantages over normal cars. The bigger engines increase the weight of the car and the car requires more energy on uphill roads leading to more fuel consumption. The pistons in the small engine are small and require less energy to pump and make the engine work. In normal cars, fuel is sucked by the engine even if the car is not moving ahead or is in a standing position. This does not happen in a hybrid car engine. Almost no fuel is consumed when the car is still on but standing at a constant position.
