The History of the Hybrid Automobile: An Evolution for the Future

Because of the desire of having a vehicle wherein everyone can consume less fossil fuel and will not contribute to the air pollution, the hybrid automobile was finally created to meet this end. And due to the rapid advancements in the gasoline engine, the hybrid car has become extremely popular.

A hybrid automobile is a means of transportation using two fuel sources; it uses a rechargeable resources storage system found on board and a fuelled gasoline source as the car's driving force. More information about driving force can be found here: http://www.articlealley.com/article_1117211_29.html. The hybrid car pollutes less and uses less gasoline.

Back in 1899, Ferdinand Porsche have developed and led the way to the very first working hybrid-electric vehicle. Other people followed suit in Ferdinand Porsche's invention. Many people who became interested in the hybrid-vehicle concept have been continually making hybrid cars.  However, there was no major vehicle manufacturer who invested in the hybrid concept and mass produced hybrid vehicles until the late twentieth century. The hybrid technology was mainly utilized in developing diesel-electric submarines during that interim period.

The diesel-electric submarines mainly operate very much the same as a hybrid car. However, the submarines main goal was to save oxygen rather than spend less energy. During the later years, submarines have evolved and have begun using the nuclear fuel as a substitute for diesel.
