All hybrid cars are powered by two engines : a gasoline engine and a electric engine. The gasoline engine is used during starting and stopping the car. In the current market, there are 2 types of hybrid car. Once the hybrid car has attained a certain speed, the electric engine will take over. The gasoline engine is also used to charge the electric engine’s batteries.

The second type is called the parallels. It has the same physical configuration of the series hybrid however the operation is quite different. Both the electric engine and the gasoline engine can be used to start and stop the car. Parallel hybrid cars are more suited for long distance travelling.

In on whole, a hybrid car consumes 50 to 60 percent less fuel than a conventional car.
