Hybrid Vehicle: A New Era of Transportation

Abstract

With arrival of the 21st century the human civilization has come across new problems. The
problems they have never faced before and the seeds of these problems were sown a long
time ago. It was the dependency of humans on the fossil fuel that led us to the problems like
Global Warming, Climate change and energy crisis. But as said necessity is the mother of all
invention. With the problems and the lack of fossil fuel the hunt for new source of energy
began. With all the green sources of energy discovered the fact was clear that we know to
convert most of them into electrical energy. So a new system of transport had to be developed
that uses electrical energy. Here in this paper we will have a look on the history of the
transportation, the need for the electrical vehicles, their working, the innovations and their
impact around the globe along with the challenges they will face ahead. The paper will also
discuss the working and function of “Electrical Vehicles” and “Plug in Hybrid Vehicles”.
The paper will conclude the advantages and disadvantage of hybrid and electrical vehicles,
regenerative braking, Hydrogen fuel cell, types of propulsion system and how it will change
our way of living in the future.
