WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF ALTERNATIVE PROPULSION AND AUTOMOTIVE GENIUS!
We are about to embark on a learning journey regarding Hybrid technologies and vehicles. This guide will help you learn what you need to know to buy a Hybrid car.
So, you want to buy a "HYBRID"? … Throughout these pages, we would like to invite you to join in on the journey to discover more sustainable methods of transportation. This would involve more than traditional combustion engines - like most of our cars, trucks and SUV's on the roads worldwide, still are. We are considering those who do not and will not be relying solely on fossil fuels.
Some of these alternatives or ‘Hybrids' are available for purchase now and in the future. We will be taking a look at what the market has to offer, in terms of alternatives, different and mixed ‘modes', more fuel-efficient, even eco-friendly vehicles. These vehicles will in all probability grace our roads, garages and driveways, with higher frequency in the near future.
Some manufacturers like Toyota and Honda aim to have all their cars rolling off the line by 2020, to be in this category. Lofty aims, yet sales of hybrid vehicles are up, substantially. With incentives and tax credits in abundance, more and more are opting to invest in Hybrids, including fleet and rental consumers. Public transportation (like buses) and construction vehicles are also experimenting with the technology. All of this interest and activity forms part of an attempt to cut down on harmful emissions and pollutants, as well as utilizing technology to improve fuel-efficiency, saving and preserving the environment, while minimizing out harmful impact on it while getting around.
But in order to make the decision that is best for your individual situation, budget and driving requirements, would require some research, as would the different types of cars available, cost, care, repair and maintenance, as well as expectations, features and benefits/disadvantages of driving and owning a Hybrid vehicle. These have to be looked at and asked closely and honesty, BEFORE you purchase one. This is where this guide might be useful to you. It is by no means the most comprehensive guide out there, but it is a good start to provide you something in hand, that will make your decision easier!
Do you find yourself motivated to do your part, wanting to reduce greenhouse gases and free society from reliance on oil, while optimizing fuel-economy and mileage per gallon, without necessarily sacrificing power and performance, by driving a hybrid?
Do you find the whole promise and debate about hydrogen, bio-fuels, plug-ins, synergy-drive advances and collaborative design-efforts by major auto-manufacturers fascinating, yet overwhelming at the same time?
On the other hand, maybe you are just simply looking to buy a new or used hybrid vehicle and do not know where to start? Regardless of which situation best describes your reason for getting this book and your individual situation, as it all relates to concepts, issues, ,concerns and even costs involved when buying a Hybrid vehicle, hang on for the ride, for here we go…
First and foremost, this book is for YOU, written to help you purchase a Hybrid vehicle. It is structured in somewhat of a logical sequential way, taking you systematically through everything you should and may want to know about Hybrids, when considering buying a hybrid one for yourself and your family.
As part of the introduction, we will take a quick look at automotive history, how we got to where we are today, the tale of these innovative automotive developments and the hybrid specifically – how it came to be and what the future might hold for Hybrids, their manufacturers and those of us who get, or choose to drive, care, maintain and enjoy them!
Defining Hybrid technologies and what these vehicles actually are and can or cannot do, the different types of Hybrid vehicles and listings of available Hybrids, concepts cars, research, results and comparative performance, all get covered briefly.
Where to find Hybrids and what to look for when buying one against a practical checklist of sorts, dangers, pro's and cons to consider and the hybrids of tomorrow, will also be touched upon, with some closing comments. This will all help your process and purchase unfold a somewhat smoother. You will also find buying tips scattered throughout the text, to browse and collect as you see fit. Maybe you can even add a couple of your own, as you go about your journey, looking for and buying the hybrid that is right for you.
A bibliography, reference listing and eclectic picture gallery of some of the available vehicles are also provided at the end of the text, for your reference and use. Should you want to explore this topic further, or search for more information than these couple of pages could realistically provide, this will be a good place to start. The picture gallery Appendix, has some pictures from Auto-shows held in 2006, featuring some of the most popular and newer Hybrid favorites, (most recently and specifically in Detroit and Chicago).
For some individuals and groups, diesel, hydrogen and fuel cell technology, hold the keys to the future. For others, plug-in hybrids are the way to go. Auto-manufacturers duke it out, share patents and technology, trade licensing, manufacturing rights and collaborate on projects, all in an attempt to get closer to the elusive dream of faster, better, and cleaner transportation and ultra-efficient, low emission automobiles.
Some think hybrids are a pipe-dream or a waste of money, not being able to justify the higher cost, or simply not convinced that the technology is actually the best option there is. Others choose to pursue hybrid technology power trains with a vengeance, for it is all part of the same pursuit – constantly improving and delivering more with less – even for the cars we drive.
With all the hype and public interest in global warming, the recent discussions on renewable and alternative energy-sources and undeniable trends, moving away from such an over-reliance on a fossil-fuel based economy and traditional, gasoline-reliant vehicles, other world events and the interplay of these factors. All have us thinking about what to look for, while considering investing our own hard-earned money, in a HYBRID vehicle of all things. We will refrain from calling it a car outright right now, to avoid any confusion. It sparked the interest in providing a practical guide, on what to expect, look for and consider, when purchasing this "eco-friendly alternatives" to our gas-guzzling cars, trucks and SUV's. It is feasible and how do we go about the pursuit of actually buying a Hybrid vehicle?
If we were to consider doing our part for the environment, doing the ‘right' thing, so to speak, to preserve our planet for generations to come, or simply looking to invest in a more ‘efficient', environmentally-friendlier alternative vehicle and take the plunge, actually BUYING A HYBRID VEHICLE, it would be handy to have a reference guide or checklist, to compare our thoughts, facts and options with, now would it not?
Well, this is the best way we can think of to justify and motivate the following pages. They are meant to help and inform, open discussion and provide criteria and reference points, to make sense of the selections and options available for Hybrid inventions and maybe even concept cars for the future. Helping you make it easier to pick the option that is right for you, (or not).
