[pic] I. Introduction: âÅ"“ 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. âÅ"“ Hybrid Technology: A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that uses two or more distinct power sources to move the vehicle. Power sources include: ââ€" ª On-board or out-board rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) ââ€" ª Gasoline or Diesel fuel ââ€" ª Hydrogen ââ€" ª Compressed air ââ€" ª Human†¦show more content†¦In 1905, Mr. H Piper filed a patent for a gasoline engine-electric motor powertrain. According to him, the electric motor would augment a gasoline engine, allowing a vehicle to accelerate from zero to 25 miles an hour in 10 seconds, much faster than the gasoline engines of that time. Ironically, when finally Mr.H Piper was granted the patent a few years later, normal engines were capable of producing the same kind of acceleration. Due to rapid advancements in the gasoline engine, the popularity of a hybrid car slowly diminished untill again in the early to mid 1970s, the time of oil crisis. Many companies poured funds to build experimental Hybrid Electric Vehicles. But as the oil became available again, the surge for HEVs died down immediately. The Europeans and Japanese researching on reducing production costs and making HEVs more salable. Companies like Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, Mitsubishi came up with ways to reduce emissions and better the mileage. Toyota introduced the Prius in 1997 (in Japan and in 2000 in the US) which proved to be a huge success. Recent sales figures indicate that well over 300,000 units of Toyota Prius have been sold the world over justifying the concept of a clean family car. In 1999, Honda introduced its first production hybrid car, the Insight and then the Civic Hybrid in 2002. Ford came up with the first hybrid SUV, the Escape, which hit the road in 2004.

Before industrialization, people relied on short distance transportation for their individual freedom. Cars put the user in control and broke down the travel barriers of the steam powered train. Americans could now travel alone, which encouraged their level of independence. This independence brought along responsibility in the form of upkeep. Car users now had to maintain fuel levels with the hazardous liquid â€Å"gasoline†. As more Americans hit the road, more gasoline filledRead MoreDisadvantages Of Hybrid Cars1597 Words   |  7 PagesHybrid vehicles are slowly gaining popularity despite American car companies failure to utilize the type of engine.
