Hybrid cars and their relevance in the Russian context Bashny.Net

How often on Russian roads you may come across a hybrid car? Of course, such a phenomenon should be considered very rare. Although it is recognized that the trend towards increasing the hybrid fleet is still progressing. This is due to environmentally friendly engines and a substantial savings of fossil fuels. At the same time, hybrid engines are quite expensive that can hardly be considered a definite advantage.





So, efficiency is a major benefit of hybrids. For example, the use of motor power in the exercise of acceleration or uphill driving can save up to 40-50% of the liquid fuel.

However, the battery is limited to about 5-6 years and its replacement is comparable to half the cost of a car. With the price already easier to buy a scooter on electric, and cheaper at times and more healthful. Still and quiet to avoid all the traffic jams. Perhaps that is why the hybrids while not particularly popular in Russia.

 





As many have guessed, the device of the hybrid vehicle lies in the successful combination of an electric motor fed from a battery and an internal combustion engine. This system works in three main schemes: sequential, parallel and mixed.

Usually, the most common is a consistent system. In this case, the internal combustion engine is used to recharge the battery which powers the motor. Thus, the mechanical energy of the gasoline engine is converted to electrical, and then again into mechanical, affecting the drive wheels.





Despite the fact that in Russia, the hybrids are just starting to gain popularity, you should identify the most common models. In the domestic market the most popular Toyota Prius. The fuel consumption of it is only 4-5 liters per 100 kilometers. However, some motorists complain about the lack of good aerodynamics, which affects the speed performance.

If you compare the Toyota Prius C Ford C-Max Hybrid, the latter is more maneuverable and stable. Maximum comfort can be obtained using the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. However, this "American" less environmentally friendly, unlike its competitors.

The most inexpensive should be considered a hybrid Honda Insight, which costs about 18 thousand dollars. published
