Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming are two major threats, the world is facing today. The result is extreme weather changes and natural disasters. Auto manufacturers are making green cars that are not only safe for environment but will save resources for our future generations. Hybrid cars are in demand by customers also. They are a bit expensive though but they are fuel economic and great to drive in urban areas. Their lesser emissions make them ideal for environment. Here are 5 best hybrid cars that according to us were the superstars of 2011.

New Hybrid Cars

Hybrid vehicles are the perfect answer to the problems that are being faced by the world in the present day when in comes to the environment. Hybrid vehicles are perfectly environmentally safe and should be used preferentially over other vehicles to make the environment safe and in order to reduce carbon footprints. Reduction of the global carbon footprint is a very important consequence of using hybrid vehicles. Hybrid vehicles can guarantee a perfectly safe environment if the use of hybrid vehicles is combined with other practices that will result in the production of a cleaner and greener environment. Hybrid vehicles are the perfect answer to noxious fume emitting petrol guzzling steel machines that we call cars in the present day.

Air pollution has become a menace in the present day. Pollution is basically defined as “the deposition of substances in excess amount causing various harmful effects and this primarily occurs due to anthropogenic (that is, induced by man) activities”. So what exactly are pollutants that cause pollution? Pollutants are basically defined as “substances which adversely alter the environment by changing the growth rate of a species, by interfering with the food chain, health, and in the process prove toxic to mankind.”

There are five primary air pollutants namely carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, sleuthed dioxide, suspended particulate matter, and proxy acetyl nitrate (PAN). Carbon dioxide causes global warming and is a green house gas. Carbon dioxide emission can be controlled by the reduction in the levels of industrial and automobile emission and also by increase of forest cover.

Best hybrid cars

Hybrid cars were introduced by various automotive industries as a result of the need for more efficient and environmentally sound cars. Even though everyone has heard about hybrid cars, but there still exists confusion about how they operate and what are the components does it need to function properly.

Basically hybrid cars are operated by three main sources such as, a well performing battery, an electric motor and a gas engine. Each of the sources is very important for the performance of the car.  The main benefit of using hybrid cars is that, it proves to lower the harmful emission and better the gas mileage. A lot of difference in their function exists between full hybrid cars and a mild hybrid car.
