Abstract

The earth is almost at its peaks. It’s hard to be indifferent to the big changes that occur every day, such as climate change. People in this world have forgotten that we are able to live due to our planet’s kindness. It’s time to give back to the one that is taking care of us for such a long time providing food and different materials such as fossil fuels.

One of the main causes of the climate change is pollution due to transportation. It’s hard to live nowadays without the help of home appliances and cars. The last category, the vehicles, is the main contributor when it comes to CO2 and NOX emissions. Another bad thing about vehicles is the amount of fossil fuels that they burn. This fuels that help our car function are starting to disappear, shortly transportation being made impossible. Therefore it appears the need of renewable energy sources and vehicles that can work without using a big amount of fuel.

The next to be introduced are the cars of the near future: the hybrid electrical vehicles. They are eco-friendly vehicles that have low fuel consumption. One important feature of this kind of vehicles is the second battery, which stores energy. This kind of vehicle provides itself with energy from regenerative braking.

Hybrid electrical vehicles are quite simple to understand. In the content of the paper we will describe its way of working, its components, and discuss emission efficiency problems, that make the hybrid technology stand out.

A major change will occur if people will start to embrace the new technology, which will reduce not only the fuel consumption but also the amount of CO2 and NOX emission, which will help not only our planet but our lives as well.
