What is a hybrid vehicle?

In simple words, a hybrid vehicle can be described as the machine that uses more than one source of energy to move the vehicle. In practice, it indicates that the hybrid engine is composed of a combustion engine and a fuel tank with the presence of one or more electric motors. Hybrid vehicles are machines that use electrical bits to reuse energy. Therefore, different car manufacturers around the world have shown great interest in building their next cars with better eco-friendly engines to save the future.

How does a hybrid vehicle help save the environment?

Cars or standard vehicles tend to pollute the atmosphere with the emission of harmful gases, which leads to global warming. In addition, the presence of these vehicles on the roads that emit dangerous gases can cause adverse effects on the environment. To prevent global warming and help the future of the earth, BMW has taken the initiative to launch hybrid vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The hybrid uses electrical energy to reuse energy in vehicles that is generally wasted in standard cars, helping to save the environment.
