• Plug-in hybrid cars with electric batteries shoulders wider than the car can drive at high speed and ensures low power consumption, the energy-efficiency improvement of 40% of greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional hybrids, and even less, and toxic emissions.

• The flex-fuel models are the future of hybrid cars with both petrol engines or E85, an alternative fuel made of 85% ethanol (made from plants like corn) 15% petrol.

• The use of hybrid diesel engines that run on clean diesel instead of gasoline, more energy efficient than conventional gas hybrid term, while reducing harmful emissions. And diesel hybrids are more efficient than conventional hybrids. The current barrier is crossed, the higher costs of clean-diesel technology, resulting in more expensive hybrid cars.

• Hybrid Hydrogen is regarded as one of the most promising technologies for creating original zero-emission vehicles.

• The fuel cell batteries used in hybrid hydrogen fuel cell electricity that powers the car to generate. But the prospects for future models of hybrid cars, fuel cells are still uncertain, automakers must overcome many obstacles, such as reducing the size and weight of the fuel cell and the high cost of technology.
