			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BMW Hybrid Car: German Engineering Brilliance and Elegance fitted with Revolutionary Hybrid Technology, A combination of Style and Performance</p>
<p><span id="more-1565"></span></p>
<p>Joining the number of Automobile manufacturers that have been concerned for the growing demand for environment friendly vehicles, German vehicle manufacturing giant BMW has announced that they too would soon be producing and selling Hybrid automobiles. Within the next four years, BMW will be providing its own version of the phenomenal and popular hybrid car.</p>
<p>Knowing the many innovations and excellent qualities BMW has contributed to the motor world, we have the ability to be sure that this would be another automotive engineering breakthrough that would set the par others would follow.</p>
<p>BMW stated that their Hybrid automobile would run on both Hydrogen and petroleum and this would be first infused in the 7 series BMW. Already, BMW has some of these automobiles test driven in different countries. Researchers and engineers are already staging some tests and are getting feedbacks to perfect their first hybrid automobile release. BMW doesn't want to release just a beautiful looking automobile, they want one that'll be truly environment friendly as well as performing beautifully.</p>
<p>Deviating from the usual fuel cells used by other hybrid automobile manufacturers, BMW decided on using hydrogen-fuel combined with an internal combustion engine. This led to more research and development needed because of the demand of the engine to keep the hydrogen in liquid form, and this poses as a problem in keeping them cold enough to do just that. If the engine becomes too hot, the hydrogen may evaporate requiring frequent fill ups. Another quandary is keeping the hydrogen from evaporating while in transit to the engine. But BMW has stated that it has found the solution to this problem.</p>
<p>BMW sees hydrogen as the solution, but it would take about two more decades before a automobile can actually be run by hydrogen only. But they're positive that this is very achievable.</p>
<p>BMW claims that for the past thirty years, they have been developing technology that could just lead to the first ever pure hydrogen car. They already have a car that's being powered by water, a vehicle that emits water vapor at the tailpipe, and are to retrieve hydrogen from sunlight.</p>
<p>BMW has been focusing on Hydrogen as a great power source for cars because it is the ideal solution to the ever-worsening emissions from automobiles that contributes to environmental pollution. This is because hydrogen doesn't have perilous emissions, it poses no harm to the atmosphere, it doesn't deplete natural resources, as it can be take from numerous recyclable sources. This is BMW's solution, powering cars with hydrogen produced from water through the use of solar energy. This advancement in technology is evident with the BMW 750hl production automobile showcased at the Expo 2000. Together with some of its partners, BMW may be behind in the mass production of Hybrid vehicles, but they're the forefront in Hybrid technology.</p>
<p>Soon enough, we will all be the beneficiaries of all of these developments and innovations. Not only will we able to save up on gas money, we will also be saving the environment. Owning a Hybrid vehicle doesn't have to mean riding in cramped cars with low engine power. With the unveiling of the BMW hybrid car in the near future, you get sophistication, power, elegance and style while helping clean up our air.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rediscovering the Wonders of the Toyota Prius Hybrid Vehicle</p>
<p>Motor Trends Automobile of the Year for 2004, North American Automobile of the Year in 2004, 2004 International Engine of the Year, 2005 European Car of the Year, 2006 Energuide Award in the Midsize segment, this and more are the accolades given to the Toyota Prius Hybrid Vehicle. Undoubtedly one of the most popular and most regarded competitor in the ever growing hybrid automobile segment, the Toyota Prius has definitely made a marked in the motor industry.</p>
<p><span id="more-1562"></span></p>
<p>The Toyota Prius is a Hybrid vehicle that makes a bold statement against environmental issues and the rising gas prices. It is also the first ever mass-produced hybrid automobile for commercial purposes. Its name itself means first.</p>
<p>The Toyota Prius hybrid car was first sold in Japan in 1997 before it was distributed all over the globe 4 years later in 2001. Its popularity was boosted by environmentalists touting it as the vehicle for the future to save our planet from air pollution. Sales in North America ws strong and increasing annually. By fall of 2006, the Toyota Prius hybrid car had the strongest demand and has the longest preorder and waiting list there is presently.</p>
<p>Toyota sees the Prius as a venue that would provide the consumers with a vehicle that would produce less pollution and to be very energy efficient. And Toyota certainly reached that goal. They created the Prius from the bottom up resulting to a true hybrid vehicle that's loved worldwide.</p>
<p>Toyota engineers came up with a couple of ways to develop the Toyota Prius hybrid automobile to be unlike other previous concept electric vehicles, the Prius doesn't ever need to be plugged in for recharging. The two electric motor generators get its power from the gas engine, recharging while the engine power is being used. Also, through regenerative braking, a process that recovers kinetic energy when the automobile brakes and transforming it to electrical energy to recharge the batteries.</p>
<p>By 2004 a second generation of Toyota Prius hybrid vehicle was released on the market. Capitalizing on the development of the new Hybrid Synbergy Drive technology, the previous Toyota Hybrid System was replaced in the new generation Toyota Hybrids. Many improvements were developed and infused in the technology making the Toyota Prius hybrid car even superior than before.</p>
<p>Aside from the engine, Toyota added more room to the Toyota Prius hybrid automobile making it wider and taller allowing for taller people to sit erect inside the car and allowing more views of the road.</p>
<p>Because of the success brought by the Toyota Prius hybrid vehicle and the public awareness it has developed, Toyota has extended its Hybrid lineup to their other cars. This includes the Toyota Camry hybrid and their top of the line Lexus marquee with the Lexus RX400H.</p>
<p>Truly, the Toyota Prius hybrid car has gone a long way. Its engineering superiority and its excellent reputation has made it a great choice for many people. Even a lot of notable famous people have purchased themselves a Toyota Prius hybrid vehicle to show their support to environmental awareness.</p>
<p>Toyota has definitely hit the nail in the head with the Toyota Prius hybrid automobile and we have the ability to anticipate to see more of this technology in the future. With Toyota's dedication to this endeavor, we have the ability to be sure that we have the ability to finally cut down on gas consumption and save our planet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people are now getting frustrated with their usual gas-guzzling conventional car because of the constant increase in fuel prices. Because of this, more and more people are looking for alternative modes of travel. Some people with cars are now leaving it on the garage and walks from home to work nearly everyday to conserve fuel and some are taking the subways, and other transportation services that exist in order to save money.</p>
<p><span id="more-1561"></span></p>
<p>However, there are some people who simply just need their automobile for their work. Because of this, many of this people are now considering selling their old conventional gas-guzzling vehicles and buy a new kind of automobile that can cut fuel consumption by half. These new line of vehicles are called hybrid cars. Just envision, you can effectively go more than 60 miles per gallon with hybrid vehicles.</p>
<p>Also, hybrid cars produce fewer pollutants than conventional cars. This means that not only will you cut fuel consumption by more than half, but you will also decrease the level of pollution that is poisoning the environment and people. With hybrid cars, everyone can benefit from it.</p>
<p>Now that you know about hybrid vehicles and is now considering to get one for your own, you now want to know how it works. You also want to know how it can relatively cut fuel consumption by half and you also want to know why it emits fewer pollutants than conventional automobiles.</p>
<p>First of all, you have to consider that hybrid vehicles can be quite expensive. However, when you calculate the overall cost that you'll spend on gasoline during the lifetime of the hybrid vehicle and the conventional automobile, you will see that you will spend more money on conventional cars of the same weight class as the hybrid vehicle with a higher retail price included and taxes.</p>
<p>Hybrid automobile buyers also enjoy tax incentives imposed by the government. So, when you buy hybrid vehicles, you'll enjoy tax breaks. Therefore, you will save more money.</p>
<p>The concept of the hybrid car is quite simple. Hybrid automobiles combine electricity, which is the cleanest energy source available, and internal combustion gasoline engine to run the vehicle.</p>
<p>In simple words, hybrid automobiles utilize both electricity and gasoline energy to power the car. First of all, the hybrid car works when once you start the vehicle and is in idle mode or not running, the gasoline engine is automatically shut off. This means that the car is purely running on electricity. This will explain why hybrid cars are very quiet. This will also explain why it can effectively conserve fuel consumption. Once you step on the accelerator, the internal combustion engine will automatically begin up again. There are also hybrid cars that can run purely on electric mode. This is very useful if you are only using the automobile for local travels. You virtually do not even need to put gasoline in the vehicle.</p>
<p>However, in this type of hybrid automobile, you have to take into account putting gasoline for long travels. You can even state that the gasoline will be used for back up power in case the battery is discharged. Most hybrid automobiles developed today do not need to be plugged in like the electric automobile. The used kinetic energy when you're braking will be the one to recharge the battery.</p>
<p>This is how easy a hybrid car works. It will be comprised of a battery for energy storage, a generator, an internal combustion engine, a fuel tank, and an electric motor.</p>
<p>Now that you know how hybrid cars work, you now see how beneficial it can be if you are driving one. You will not only save a lot of money from fuel consumption, but you'll also help save the environment by emitting far lower toxic fumes than conventional cars.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hybrid Electric Car: A Promising Technology for a Promising Future for the Environment</p>
<p>A hybrid-electric automobile, or HEV, combines an electrical energy storage system with an occupied means of generating electrical energy, usually through the consumption of some type of fuel. Each type of HEV has its own operating quality and chosen design practices, as well as advantages and disadvantages.</p>
<p><span id="more-1560"></span></p>
<p>The development of interior ignition engine cars, especially in vehicles, is one of the supreme achievements of modern technology as a new rising energy saving and environment -friendly car, that is why the hybrid-electric vehicles were created to give convenience to each human.</p>
<p>In the process of creating the hybrid electric car, the most important is the energy saving and the environmental protection. Wherein nowadays this are the common problems faced by the society.</p>
<p>Having the hybrid-electric car evolved from the electric automobile. However, the main disadvantage of the electric vehicle is that it is mainly dependent on the batteries. Therefore, has limited range.</p>
<p>First of all, the hybrid electric car was supposed to be an electric vehicle with batteries for power storage and is also equipped with an on-board heat engine-powered generator. This means that this type of hybrid has an extended range.</p>
<p>The heat engine power and the battery power are specifically intended as an important scheme that constantly modulates the excess between the heat engine and the battery power systems. This will also depend on the driving schedule.</p>
<p>Since the beginning of the use of vehicles, electric vehicles have been already recognized and conceptualized. Even though the electric power train is better in various aspects, as an energy source, the battery was unequal to the superior-energy content, easiness in terms of the handling, and affordable and profuse supplies of motor fuel.</p>
<p>Now, it has almost been a century since the electric car has been popularly discussed, but current developments in the HEV technology and the growing concerns for the environment has revived the drive for an HEV and this has become a realization this day.</p>
<p>We have the ability to think about the personal means of transportation as a very important bond in the economic chain of today's modern societies and that a private automobile appears to be the popular choice.</p>
<p>Electric automobiles are more energy efficient than the contemporary cars wherein the electric automobiles operates at approximately 46 percent of effectiveness, while a contemporary automobile operates at about 18 percent only.</p>
<p>There are studies that generally concludes that electric vehicles with batteries are approximately 10 to 30 percent more efficient with energy than the usual gasoline vehicles, depending on the exact assumptions of the vehicles energy usage and energy chain efficiency.</p>
<p>Certainly, the comparisons of the electric cars and the conventional automobiles are comparisons between an extremely developed power system that is almost in the end of its research and development, and the innovative power system in the beginning stages of the development wherein important development can be expected as the new technology evolves.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the advantages of electric powered modes of transportation extends beyond the true outlook of economizing energy. Electric generation plants can use alternative fuels that are not adaptable to portable power systems.</p>
<p>Electric cars are the definitive alternative fuel automobiles because their power is taken from the source fuels utilized to produce electricity. Aside from that, the flexibility of the fuel alone can offer important useful and economic advantages especially in relation to a variety of energy resources.</p>
<p>The electric vehicle is truly a promising technology that could transform one's means of transportation into a far more environmentally type of commodity. Through this innovation emission controls become more important, effective and economically beneficial.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hybrid Cars: What is All The Fuss About?</p>
<p>It is a fact that people simply adores hybrid cars. They love hybrid cars because of the benefits it can give them, t6o the other people and the environment. So, what is it about hybrid vehicles that it is now attracting more and more people to get one for their own?</p>
<p><span id="more-1559"></span></p>
<p>First of all, if you have a hybrid car, you will be able to cut fuel consumption in half. When was the last time you pulled your vehicle over to a pumping station? If you recently did, you'll notice that the price of gasoline is on a constant rise. When compared to conventional cars, hybrid vehicles will enable you to cut fuel consumption in half. This means fewer trips to the gasoline station. Just envision yourself driving a vehicle that can travel more than 60 miles per gallon. This might sound good enough for you to get a hybrid automobile, but there are more benefits that you can get from hybrid cars.</p>
<p>Back in 2005, President George Bush has signed an agreement that lets the buyers and users of hybrid automobile enjoy massive tax breaks. Because of this, you will be able to save money on taxes. Another great benefit that you can get when you have a hybrid automobiles are free parking, and some says have imposed a law that hybrid vehicles should be discounted on toll gates.</p>
<p>Hybrid automobiles are also known to emit far lower levels of pollutants in the air. This means less air pollution. This will also mean that it will tend to reduce the effects of global warming and will enable you and other people to breathe cleaner air.</p>
<p>These are just some of the things that hybrid automobiles can give you. You'll now ask what kind of technology is inside hybrid vehicles that makes it so fuel efficient and environmentally friendly.</p>
<p>Hybrid vehicles are integrated with the hybrid technology currently existing today. In fact, hybrid technology has existed for a long time. It is used on locomotives, it is used on submarines and it is used in some buses in some says and countries.</p>
<p>Hybrid technology is a combination of electricity and the standard engine. For example, in locomotives, it combines the diesel engine and electric engine, and in submarines, it combines the nuclear engine and electric engine. This is far more efficient than letting the conventional engine run on its own.</p>
<p>In hybrid automobiles, it combines the energy of gasoline engines and an electric motor to power the vehicle. This means that with both engines running, it will lessen the load on the internal combustion engine. The electric motor will share the labor. With this technology it will grant you to save precious fuel and also let you emit far lower volumes of toxic fumes in the air.</p>
<p>For example, if your hybrid automobile is running idle, it will automatically switch off the gasoline engine and let the vehicle run on pure electricity. This can save you a lot of fuel especially if you're stuck in a gridlock traffic jam.</p>
<p>Today, there are hybrid vehicles that are designed to run even when the gasoline engine is switched off. This kind of hybrid automobile will eventually get rid of gasoline station trips. And, it will let you travel without emitting toxic fumes. The gasoline engine will only act as a backup engine when the battery pack runs out of power. The braking and the engine will automatically recharge the battery pack preparing it for another purely electric run. This means that you don't actually have to plug in your hybrid car to your electrical outlet for it to recharge.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How Hybrid Cars WorkMany consumers aren't satisfied to know that hybrid automobiles achieve excellent fuel economy and reduced emmissions, but also are also curious about how they work. Three primary components are integrated to make a hybrid: an internal combustion gas engine, an electric motor and a high-powered battery. A process called regenerative braking is used to capture energy and charge the battery. This is energy that would normally be lost during coasting or decelerating. The battery which is continuously recharged through this process provides power to the electric motor. If necessary, power from the gasoline engine might also be diverted to charge the battery. These charging strategies create an electrical power system that never needs to be plugged in to charge from an external source.</p>
<p><span id="more-1556"></span></p>
<p>Those are the basics of hybrid cars in general. We will divide hybrids into two categories to examine further how the three components work together. Each category of hybrids incorporates the three components in its own way.</p>
<p>Mild Hybrids -<br />
In the mild hybrid configuration the electric motor isn't able to function independently of the gas internal combustion engine. The vehicle is powered primarily by the gas engine, and the electric motor only provides supplemental power to assist when needed. The electric motor is capable of drawing energy from the battery or generating electricity to charge the battery, but it isn't capable of doing both at the same time. The Honda Civic and Insight are mild hybrid cars.</p>
<p>Full Hybrids -<br />
Full hybrid cars integrate the three components in a way that grants the electric motor and the gas engine to operate independently of each other. For instance the electric motor is capable of operating on its own to provide light acceleration at low speeds. The gas engine then starts up and takes over at higher speeds. Both the electric motor and gas engine can operate in unison when more power is needed during hard acceleration, such as when climbing hills. Full hybrids are also able to draw energy from the battery and charge it at the same time. The Toyota Prius and Ford Escape are full hybrids.</p>
<p>Despite their differences, both types of hybrid vehicles achieve the goal of increased fuel economy and decreased emissions over standard gas or diesel powered vehicles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Pros and Cons of Hybrid Automobiles</p>
<p>Hybrid automobiles are considered to be the automobile of tomorrow. Because of the benefits it can give you, you'll definitely want to get one for your own. In fact, more and more people are now considering selling their conventional vehicle and buy a hybrid automobile. So, why is it that more and more people like getting a hybrid automobile instead of a conventional vehicle even if hybrid automobile retail prices are far more costly?</p>
<p><span id="more-1555"></span></p>
<p>The answer to this is that these people are thinking of the long term benefits that a hybrid car can give. With a hybrid car, you can cut fuel consumption in half compared to conventional vehicles. Hybrid cars will be able to give you maximum fuel efficiency. It will be able to give you far better mileage to the gallon. Just envision, with a hybrid car, you can get more than 60 miles to the gallon of gasoline.</p>
<p>This is because hybrid automobiles run on two engines. One is the conventional internal combustion engine that you'll find in conventional cars and the other is the electric motor and batteries. Hybrid automobiles are basically vehicles that combine electric energy and gasoline energy. By combining these two to power your automobile, it will run quieter, cleaner and far more efficient than conventional cars. These are the main advantages of hybrid cars.</p>
<p>Another advantage is that you will be able to save more money from tax breaks imposed by the US government to hybrid car users and buyers. If you own a hybrid car, you'll be able to care about tax breaks. Also, you will be able to like free parking and other incentives that the government imposed on hybrid automobile owners.</p>
<p>Now that you know about the main pros of the hybrid vehicles, you also need to know what the cons of hybrid vehicles are.</p>
<p>People have been purchasing hybrid cars because of the ability of saving a lot of money from fuel consumption. However, the main advantage of hybrid vehicles, which is the electric motor, is also its downfall. When a hybrid vehicle is involved in an accident it will be difficult for you and the rescuers to get you out of the car because of the dangers of electrocution. Hybrid automobiles carry massive amounts of voltage. When it gets involved in an accident, wires from the battery might tear off and will be potentially hazardous to handle.</p>
<p>Another disadvantage of hybrid vehicles is that the retail price is higher than conventional automobiles in the same weight class. However, the hybrid automobile can counter this disadvantage by allowing consumers to save money in a long term basis. When you look at it in a long term basis, hybrid cars tend to be cheaper than conventional cars. Try and compute the amount of gasoline both vehicles will consume during its lifetime and add it to the retail price of the car. You will see that the conventional automobile will tend to be more expensive than hybrid vehicles when you look at it in a long term basis.</p>
<p>These are the pros and cons of hybrid vehicles. You can see that it contains more advantages than disadvantages. Most hybrid vehicles this day are now integrated with the latest technology in vehicle safety. So, if you are planning to purchase a vehicle, think hybrid.</p>

<p>Tips for Drivers of Hybrid Cars</p>
<p>Maintenance Tips for Hybrid Cars</p>
<p>Hybrid cars tend to have long warranties. The Honda Insight comes with an 8 year/80,000 mile warranty that includes most of the powertrain, including batteries, and a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty on the rest of the car. The Toyota Prius has an 8 year/100,000 mile warranty on the hybrid and battery systems, and a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty on everything else.</p>
<p><span id="more-1552"></span></p>
<p>Batteries and electric motors in these hybrid cars don't require any maintenance over the life of the vehicle. The gas engine doesn't require any more maintenance than the gas engine in a conventional vehicle. In hybrids with regenerative braking, the brake pads may last longer than those in other cars.</p>
<p>Battery systems in hybrid cars are pretty spendy with a several thousand dollar price tag. By the time the warranty expires though, that price may have decreased.</p>
<p>Gas Mileage Tips for Hybrid Cars</p>
<p>By using the same driving habits that result in better fuel efficiency in conventional vehicles, you will achieve better mileage in your hybrid vehicle as well.</p>
<p>Drive slower - The faster you drive, the greater the aerodynamic drag on the car. Drag force at 70 mph is nearly double that of drag at 50 mph. Going easy on the accelerator will increase your fuel economy significantly.</p>
<p>Maintain a constant speed - Accelerating uses energy. Some of this energy is wasted when you slow back down. Maintaining a constant speed makes the most efficient use of fuel.</p>
<p>Avoid stopping abruptly - The electric motor in hybrid cars acts like a generator, and uses some of the energy while slowing the vehicle. By giving the electric motor more time to slow the vehicle, it is able to recover more of the energy. By stopping abruptly, the brakes do most of the work in slowing the vehicle and that energy is wasted.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Plug-In Hybrid Cars: A Cheaper Alternative</p>
<p>Because of the constant increase in fuel prices, many people are now considering getting rid of their gas guzzling conventional automobile and are now purchasing a cheaper alternative. Some people purchase automobiles with smaller engines for fuel efficiency and some people are now thinking of purchasing the vehicle with the latest technology that enables them to cut fuel consumption by half.</p>
<p><span id="more-1545"></span></p>
<p>These automobiles are called plug-in hybrid vehicles. With this car, you'll be able to cut fuel consumption by more than half by taking advantage of the hybrid technology that many car manufacturers are now integrating in their new car models. Although plug in hybrid vehicles have existed for quite some time now, it was only about a few years ago that it was released in the market.</p>
<p>Plug-in hybrid vehicles are vehicles that combine the gasoline energy and the electric energy to run or to propel the car. Plug-in hybrid vehicles will enable you to run your vehicle up to a hundred miles per gallon depending on the engine and the battery installed.</p>
<p>If you think that getting a good mileage per gallon is non existent, think again. With the technology being integrated by automobile manufacturers in their hybrid vehicles, it is now possible. This automobile has two engines to run your vehicle. One is the gasoline engine and the other is the electric motor. Just envision a automobile that has an extension cord that you can plug-in in your home electricity outlet to recharge. You do not even to worry about the cost of your electric bill because the recharging will just be equal to less than a dollar per gallon.</p>
<p>Just envision a vehicle that has two fuel sources. If one runs out, the car will still be able to run. You do not have to plug in your plug-in hybrid vehicle but if you do, your vehicle becomes an electric vehicle that will be able to run quietly, cleaner, cheaper and more efficient than conventional gasoline powered vehicles. You've to consider that the gasoline tanks are there for long driving purposes.</p>
<p>However, when you are only driving locally, you don't need to fill your automobile with gasoline. All you need to do is plug-in your automobile to your home's electric outlet and once it is fully charged, your car will be ready to go using the electric motor.</p>
<p>Imagine the savings that you can get with a plug-in hybrid car.</p>
<p>However, these things are not the only benefits that you can get with plug-in hybrid automobiles. You'll be shocked once you find out about the other benefits that you can get with a hybrid automobile. If you have a hybrid car, the service cost will tend to be lower because it is mainly electric.</p>
<p>Another great thing about plug-in hybrid automobiles is that it will be able to power your home in case of power outage. It can act as an electricity generator.</p>
<p>Recently, tax incentives have been imposed by the government to hybrid vehicle buyers. This means that as a buyer of a plug-in hybrid car, you'll be able to care about tax breaks.</p>
<p>You'll also help improve the condition of the environment because it runs on the cleanest energy source available, which is electricity. This means that the vehicle will produce no toxic emissions when it is running on electricity. Also, when it runs on gasoline, the emissions are also very low because of the small size of the gasoline engine.</p>
<p>These are some of the benefits that you can get with plug-in hybrid cars. So, if you think that you're spending too much on gasoline for your gas-guzzling conventional vehicle, you can begin saving money by getting a plug-in hybrid vehicle.</p>
