benefit Less resistance to air drag
Using the concept of aerodynamics,
the vehicle with designs that allows moving through air
effortlessly is easily the least expensive in terms of fuel
consumption. Studies had shown that about half of the
energy needed to move a car traveling in a highway is used up
by aerodynamic drag. Car designers have a plethora of
techniques for making vehicles glide more easily down a windy

Hybrid car
fuel efficiency Have more efficient on air condition.
Latest results from valuations of hybrid cars signify a

Hybrid cars
improving environment- Low emission
level Having hybrid cars means to improving
the environment. Hybrid vehicles are low emission and
fuel efficient. A hybrid car recharges its battery while
running and removes the need for regularly plugging the
car for an electricity outlet.
Super Ultra
Low-Emission Vehicles emit 90 percent of cleaner emission
than average new 2002 model car. Ultra Low-Emission
Vehicles however, are cars that emit 50 percent cleaner
emission, much lower than a new 2001 model car.
Zero-emission cars however, belong only to the family of

male respondents.
Only a handful of

percent are willing to compromise on performance
features, like horsepower and
acceleration.
For price, however, the respondents are
willing to compromise. When they’re asked what they would

usage for the environment, a common characteristics of
hybrids, 45 percent of the respondents indicated the
