A hybrid vehicle is a type of automobile that uses two or more power sources to operate. Typically, it combines a traditional internal combustion engine with an electric motor. This combination allows the vehicle to achieve better fuel efficiency and lower emissions compared to conventional vehicles. Hybrid vehicles can switch between the gasoline engine and the electric motor, or use both simultaneously. This technology helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels and can lead to cost savings on fuel. Popular examples of hybrid vehicles include the Toyota Prius and the Honda Insight.
