Hybrid cars may be a trend but the are not that very solution. I think it is better to use an engine with a very low production effort and only little consumption. Fuel has always the highest density of transportable energy and modern systems reduce the emission in a very low range. With only little consumption of 1-2 litres it would be the greenest car this time. Hybrids need to the usual lousy engine additional the electro motors that means additional weight and additional production efforts and a higher price – so we get over all more disadvantages than with a well advanced combustion engine – have a look on >Stelzer Motor< It could be a way. It consists of 8 parts and only one of them acts, the other seven don’t move. Weight lower than 80 kg. Frequency 7.000-8.000 per minute. So the sound and vibration is very low. Power transmitting by liquids (or with a linear generator in case of hybrid – that could make sense). Proto types are working well. An actual engine – gas or hybrid – has a weight approx 200-300 kg with about 400 parts and halve of them are moving – often in a crash danger manner.
