Total vehicle number in Milliards
Abstract--Paper stresses the negative influence of cars on the environment. Hybrid cars technology can diminish the fuel consumption and green house gases production.
Different types of electric hybrid powertrains are described
Special attention is paid to electric power splitting.
Comparison of fuel consumption and CO2 production of one hybrid car and one classic car on European driving cycle is published. 2,5

The Kyoto protocol summarizes the production of greenhouse gases. The sum is caused not only by cars but in general by men activities on whole Earth. The result from all resources is shown in Fig.3 which shows the world production of CO2. The Kyoto Protocol tries to estimate if the present and future trends may be sustainable and comes to conclusion that it is a duty of men to accept regulation of this dangerous development.

Expansion of automobile traffic brought new problems like serious environmental problems with gas emission and fuel consumption. Hothouse gas emission of car combustion engines brought ecological problems namely in big cities.
The expected grow of Earth inhabitants will grow as shows Fig.1. In this paper is SI Unit System used.
Milliard means giga (G), 109.
