A hybrid car combines a fuel engine with an electric motor - this combination allows a significant reduction in the CO2 emissions of the car. With the UK government aiming to become net-zero by 2050, there has been a rise in the popularity of hybrid cars.
There are various types of hybrid vehicles - for example, plug-in hybrids, mild hybrids, and full hybrids, all differing in how they function. Find out about the different types of hybrids and how they function in our helpful guide.
Hybrid cars are powered by both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, and the vast majority of hybrids are powered by regenerative braking. The electrical features of the engine allow for the engine to be smaller than it would be on a fuel powered car.
Switching to a hybrid vehicle is not only fuel-efficient, but it's also a good way to reduce your carbon footprint altogether. Not to mention the price you could potentially save on fuel!
