1. parallel hybrids. For this type, the internal combustion engine (ICE) and the electric motor are both connected to the mechanical transmission and can simultaneously transmit power to drive the wheels. Usually the parallel hybrids can use a smaller battery pack. Parallel hybrids are more efficient for highway driving than in urban stop-and-go conditions. Honda's Insight, Civic, and Accord hybrids are parallel hybrids.

2. series hybrids. Here regarding series hybrids, only the electric motor drives the drivetrain, and the internal combustion engine (ICE) works as a generator to power the electric motor or to recharge the batteries. Series hybrids usually have a larger battery pack as compared to parallel hybrids. This makes them more expensive than parallel hybrids.

What's hybrid electric vehicle? Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), which is also called as hybrid vehicle, combines a conventional internal combustion engine propulsion system (That's the conventional gas driven motor) with an electric propulsion system (electric motor). The combination of two engines, is to achieve better fuel economy than a conventional vehicle or better performance.

Below shows hybrid electric vehicle with 2 engines:

In fact a variety of types of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) exist. The most common hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is hybrid electric car. And there's other type of HEV: hybrid electric trucks (pickups and tractors).

Caelus Consulting was formed in early 2010 by Anthony Gilbreath.  Mr. Gilbreath was inspired to create Caelus to serve a gap that he perceived in the market.  In his time as a sustainability consultant in London, he noticed that there were no good sustainability tools in the market to really give clear guidance to companies how to best organize a program of work.

Since its formation, Caelus Consulting has developed four main services it is currently offering:
 
 - SustainTrain is an series of eLearning courses aimed at educating people about sustainability
 

As I said, the total auto industry is embracing hybrid cars (hybrid-electric vehicles, HEVs) now. Gas-electric hybrid cars have become a practical choice for the consumers. Hybrids have survived many manufacturers of automobiles all, frankly speaking. Green incentives, more hybrid car choices in the market, oil spills, pump prices and environmental concerns are all giving the consumer reasons to consider hybrid vehicles and other "sustainable motoring" alternatives when choosing their next automobiles. We can mention some gas-electric hybrid cars in this industry for your reference in North America.

 

Honda Civic Hybrid, Honda Insight Hybrid, Saturn Aura Hybrid, Toyota Prius, Toyota Camry Hybrid (Toyota Hybrid Camry in Australasia), Nissan Altima Hybrid, Ford Fusion Hybrid, Ford Escape Hybrid SUV, Lexus 250h Hybrid, Lexus 450h Hybrid SUV, Toyota Highlander Hybrid SUV, Mercury Mariner Hybrid SUV, Mazda Tribute compact SUV...

But we hope more of you will participate in this community for living green, eco-friendly life. The environment is becoming worse now. It's our choice to going green, environmentally friendly.

We can choose more renewable energy, such as bioenergy, wind power, solar energy, hydropower... We can use hybrid automobiles or electric cars... We can reduce our energy consumption or water consumption...

There are so many

Why do we choose eco-friendly cars? The reasons may be different for different car owners. But high gasoline fuel prices and bad environmental affects may be the major ones. Hybrid cars are essentially car with 2 engines, namely our conventional gas driven motor, as well as eco friendly electric motor. They are so popular now. In fact ad the global market leader, the United States is registered with 1.6 million hybrids by December 2009.

Eco-friendly hybrid cars (hybrid-electric vehicles) have its intelligence to switch to the more optimal motor, which will give your driving speed, thus, helping you save on gas mileage.

 

Hybrid cars (hybrid-electric vehicles) are really environmentally friendly cars, helping us keep our environment clean and green, reducing tailpipe toxic emissions by about 90% and 50% less greenhouse gas emissions.

Electric Bike, is also know as e-bike, e-bicycle.Electric bikes are a new method of transportation for going green and environmental-friendly. We can go on many trips with the electric bike, reducing less use of cars, thus air pollution is reduced. Many of us may use eco-friendly electric bike to replace our vehicles, or even our trips on the train and bus for short distances.
 

In fact with recent advances in battery technology, we think electric motorbikes (electric motorcycles) are poised to explode onto the market as small, nimble commute ones that will be easy to find space for parking. But unfortunately the producers of eco-friendly electric motorcycle (electric motorbikes) seem to appear and disappear more frequently than the ones of larger vehicles, probably because start-up costs of such environmental-friendly motorcyles are relatively low, but market penetration is difficult, especially in North America. There's one example in the market of China. There are so many producers of eco-friendly electric motorcycle (electric motorbikes) in China just because start-up costs are low. But the technology of different producers in China is different. Some producers of environmentally friendly electric motorcycle don't pay any money on R&D. They buy everything from other suppliers and assemble in the workshop. (Maybe you will call Electric Scooter in China.)

 

In fact many manufacturers of automobiles, such as Audi, Toyota, Honda, General Motors, are or have developed electric cars or hybrid automobiles for environmentally friendly. So manufacturers of motorcycle will adapt to this trend of environmental-friendly too.

For example, Zero Motorcycles is one role in offering eco-friendly electric motorcycles in the market. And as one important role in the market of motorcyles, Harley Davidson is looking for ways to make their motorcycle green too. Harley Davidson may want to design one which is powered by lithium-ion batteries which run a brushless electric motor. :-) Harley Davidson still wants to be the king of the road with a zero-emission engine.

After a breakthrough year in which it became the global leader in the electric motorcycle industry, Zero Motorcycles announced the highly anticipated launch of its 2010 product line, including the Zero S, DS, X, and MX. With added power, increased acceleration, and enhanced power pack technology, Zero Motorcycles is continuing the innovation it's known for and taking electric motorcycle technology to the next level. The street legal models are equipped with performance enhancements that allow for higher top speeds and greater acceleration. The entire lineup also features improvements in power pack technology and color graphics for the first time. The 2010 product launch makes Zero Motorcycles the first and only electric motorcycle company to launch four distinct models worldwide.
