A hybrid vehicle is a type of automobile that uses two different power sources to operate. Typically, it combines a traditional internal combustion engine with an electric motor. This combination allows the vehicle to be more fuel-efficient and produce fewer emissions compared to conventional vehicles. Hybrid vehicles can switch between the two power sources or use them simultaneously, depending on driving conditions. 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.
