| to give us further knowledge about hybrid cars and | | | | the elect motor assist technology. This kind of |
| how they work. | | | | technology is essential in giving extra power to motor |
| Hybrid cars are actually a combination of gas and | | | | in order to speed up especially when tracking high |
| electric driven cars. In short, such cars do have two | | | | terrains. In addition, such technology requires smaller |

| is mainly powered by the battery and electrical | | | | works in a sense wherein it gives the drive train |

| car per se. This is also actually the reason why hybrid | | | | energy on the wheels just like a generator, |
