Diesel Hybrid Automobiles: Will it Catch On like the Mainstream Hybrid Cars? Ford Thinks So

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

A hybrid car is a means of transportation using two fossil fuel sources; it uses a rechargeable gas storage system found on board and a fuelled fossil fuel source as the car's driving force.

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 vehicles.  However, there was no major automobile 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 vehicle. However, the submarines main goal was to save oxygen rather than spend less fuel. During the later years, submarines have evolved and have begun using the nuclear gasoline as a substitute for diesel.
