hybrid vehicle
A hybrid car runs on both a regular gasoline engine and an electric motor. This mix helps it use less gas and produce fewer pollutants.
A hybrid vehicle combines an internal combustion engine with one or more electric motors to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. The system typically switches between power sources or uses them simultaneously depending on driving conditions.
