New hybrid vehicle model promises significant fuel savings and emissions reduction.
Hybrid vehicles like the Toyota Prius can save fuel and reduce emissions by combining a regular engine with stored energy. A simulation tool called ADVISOR helps show how hybrid cars are better than regular ones. It can model different types of hybrids, like the Prius, which uses a mix of series and parallel systems. Tests on a medium-sized car in Europe show that hybrids are more efficient than regular cars.
