| use dual-power sources in a vehicle. The answer to | | | | Hybrid automobiles deliver good performance, even |
| this is very simple. Researchers thought that common | | | | though they have small engines. The main reason for |
| people might not meet the expense of gasoline in | | | | such a credible performance apart from the small |

| Working of Hybrid Automotive: | | | | components. |
| A hybrid automobile mainly uses gasoline and electric | | | | Due to these lightweight materials, there is less load on |
