China is going green.In order to reduce air pollution and oil shortages,automobile manufacturers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles(混合燃料汽车) for t
he Chine market.Toyota’s hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week.Let’s have a look at the new car.
Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power.Hybrid cars run off a rechargeable battery and gasoline.Hybrid cars have special engines,which are smaller than traditional gasoline engines.They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising(匀速行驶).A specially-designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.
Step into a Prius,and turn on the engine.The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a traditional car.At this point,the car’s gasoline engine is dormant(休眠的).The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 km/h.If you stay at a low speed,you are effectively driving an electric car,with no gasoline being ud,and no waste gas is given off.
The onboard(车载的) computer makes the decision about when to u a gas engine,when to go electric,and when to u a combination of the two.If you go over 24 k
m/h,when you step on the gas pedal(油门),you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.
The electronic motor recharges automatically using a t of batteries.When driving at high speed,the gasoline engine not only powers the car,but also charges the batteries.Any time you u the brake,the electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries.As a conquence,the car’s batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.
