Hybrid vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Like many electric cars, but in contrast to conventional vehicles, braking in a hybrid is controlled in part by the electric motor which can recapture part of the kinetic energy of the car to partially recharge the batteries. In the intervening period, the widest use of hybrid technology was actually in diesel-electric submarines, which operate in essentially the same manner as hybrid electric cars. City of Los Angeles, CA offers free parking to all hybrid vehicles starting on October 1, 2004. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hybrid_electric   (4617 words)

Consumer Information: Why can't the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight get a carpool lane sticker? The stringent ILEV standard limits AB71’s eligibility for single-occupant use of the state's 1,159 miles of HOV lanes to electric vehicles or those that run on compressed natural gas or liquid petroleum gas (propane). While the hybrid vehicles currently offered in California are very clean vehicles, they do fall short of the EVs and alternative fuel vehicles in several key areas and are not eligible for single occupant HOV lane use. SULEV vehicles also meeting the U.S. EPA ILEV standard can best be described as the "cleanest of the clean," being surpassed only by zero emission pure electric vehicles. www.arb.ca.gov /msprog/carpool/faq.htm   (4617 words)

WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: Diesel Hybrid Electric Cars Now! Diesel hybrids turned out to be much better than gasoline/gasoline-hybrid cars, and highly competitive with the best hydrogen fuel cell systems (even assuming optimistic fuel cell vehicle development). The VW Lupo (a diesel) already has some elements of hybrid technology, including a continuous automatic transmission and electric motor for lower RPMs. The combination of modern clean diesel engines, Prius-style serial hybrid-electric systems, and biodiesel/vegetable oil fuels could provide amazing mileage, cleaner air, and vastly reduced petroleum dependency. www.worldchanging.com /archives/000791.html   (2581 words)

Green vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Examples of green vehicles include electric cars, hybrid cars and hydrogen cars. A green vehicle is a vehicle that is considered to be "environmentally friendly." This is accomplished by reducing consumption of petroleum, or, preferably, by using renewable energy sources for fuel/energy. Diesel-powered vehicles can often transition completely to biodiesel, though the fuel is a very strong solvent, which can occasionally damage rubber seals in vehicles built before 1994. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Green_vehicle   (2581 words)

Alternative Fuel and Hybrid Vehicles Hybrid electric vehicles combine the internal combustion engine of a conventional vehicle with the battery and electric motor of an electric vehicle, resulting in twice the fuel economy of conventional vehicles. Hydrogen (H2) Although hydrogen can fuel an engine directly, or serve as a fuel additive, the current emphasis is on the use of hydrogen to supply fuel cells, which power electric vehicles. Because of the gaseous nature of this fuel, it must be stored onboard a vehicle in either a compressed gaseous state (CNG) or in a liquefied state (LNG). www.commuterpage.com /afv-hev.htm   (655 words)

GM REVEALS FAMILY OF EARTH-FRIENDLY VEHICLES Baker acknowledged, “We need to partner with the petroleum industry to make our family of advanced-technology vehicles even more viable. The EV1’s lightweight structure with the world’s most advanced electric drive system and regenerative braking system laid the foundation for a portfolio of electric, hybrid and fuel-cell products. GM REVEALS FAMILY OF eneral Motors leaders opened the doors of the company's research and development operations and drove out a family of advanced-technology cars, including an extended-range EV1 and an 80-mile-per-gallon, all-wheel-drive hybrid performance car. www.ecomall.com /greenshopping/gm.htm   (655 words)

Challenge Bibendum 2004 Comes to China "Challenge Bibendum 2004 in Shanghai is truly a unique, one-of-kind opportunity for manufacturers, technology developers, energy providers and researchers to demonstrate the driving performance, comfort and safety of advanced technologies such as electric, fuel cell, hybrid, gasoline, biofuel, diesel, diesel, hydrogen, natural gas and liquified petroleum gas," Eric Jugier added. As is the case in all Challenge Bibendum events, these technologies will be subject to rigorous performance measurement, including vehicle emissions, energy consumption, noise and acceleration, breaking and handling as well as design. "Challenge Bibendum makes a significant contribution to the development of sustainable road mobility in China by showcasing the available range of clean vehicle technologies and their potential for the future," he added. www.prnewswire.com /cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/12-03-2003/0002068754&EDATE=   (655 words)
