Hybrid cars are designed on running on both an electric motor and an internal combustion system‚ and Electric cars run entirely on electricity without having an internal combustion system. In fact‚ both of these cars contain a rechargeable battery that can be charged externally‚ which helps in reducing the usage of gasoline which can diminish air pollution and save the environment. For example‚ a recent study by Experian Automotive reports that 40% more hybrid cars were sold in the U.S. in 2012 than

the production of a Hybrid locomotive‚ developed by General Electric. If every diesel fuel locomotive in America manufactured before 2001 was replaced with hybrid locomotive equipment‚ the reduced smog-producing emissions in one year would be equal to removing one third of the vehicles from America roads. If every locomotive in America were as proficient as the hybrid locomotive‚ railroads could attain a fuel cost savings of $425 million each year (GE. Ecomagination). Hybrid locomotive technology
