A hybrid car is a vehicle that uses two or even more distinct sources of power in order to get propelled. Among the power sources for a hybrid car there are gasoline or diesel fuel, on-board or out-board rechargeable energy storage systems (RESS), hydrogen, wind, compressed or liquid natural gas, solar, coal, wood or other solid combustibles, etc. The term hybrid car/vehicle is used most frequently to refer to hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) in which an internal combustion engine is combined with one or more electric motors.
As mentioned above, there are other hybrid vehicles beside the hybrid car we will mainly deal with here. Just think of mopeds and electric bicycles. These are the simplest forms of hybrid vehicles. They combine the power from an internal combustion engine or electric motor with the power of the rider’s muscles. Then there are hybrid heavy vehicles like railway locomotives, buses, heavy goods vehicles, ships or mobile hydraulic machinery. Usually, the term hybrid car/ vehicle is used to refer to hybrid electric vehicles. This category includes the following types of automotives: AHS2 (Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Chevrolet Silverado, Cadillac Escalade, Saturn Vue), Toyota Prius, Ford Escape Hybrid, Toyota Highlander Hybrid, Toyota Camry Hybrid, Honda Civic Hybrid, Honda Insight and many others. A petroleum-electric hybrid car usually gets its power from an internal combustion engine (gasoline or diesel engine) and an electric battery. (more…)
Unleaded petrol (ULP)
Regular unleaded petrol (ULP) was introduced to the Australian market in 1986. This was enabled to allow new vehicles to operate with a catalytic converter, which is a device designed to generally reduce vehicle exhaust emissions. As a result, Unleaded petrol or ULP is the recommended fuel for the majority of passenger cars made since 1986.
Premium unleaded petrol (PULP)
Premium unleaded petrol (PULP) has been designed for engines that have a higher compression ratio, than those previously mentioned. Premium Unleaded Fuel or Petrol has been formulated with a higher-octane level to reduce or prevent knocking and to optimise overall vehicle performance.
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is the most commonly used alternative fuel source for vehicles. LPG is predominately a mixture of propane and butane.
It is generally believed that substantial cost savings may be achieved by using LPG. Of course, this is determined by a numerous of factors, such as, the price differentiation with petrol and the engine conversion costs. Mileage driven over an extended period of time, etc. Another benefit associated with using LPG as a fuel source, are the current environmental concerns.
