Most hybrid cars run on diesel and electric. Typically the diesel engine provides the electricity for the electric motors which turn the wheels.
Alternatively some cars set off using a combustion engine, and then cruise using electric, until the vehicle comes to a steep slope to climb, at which point the combustion engine steps in to provide the necessary horse power to pull the vehicle.
Currently, no production autos use fuel cells.

Why are hybrid cars so ugly?
In one person's opinion, hybrid cars are not ugly. In another peson's opinion, they are ugly. It is entirely your opinion whether a hybrid car is ugly or not. I don't know what you mean by ugly but hybrid and electric cars are shaped much more aerodynamically (for reduced air drag and thus better fuel economy) than many other cars. I know some people don't like this shape, but more cars of all types are gradually being designed that way as improving fuel economy becomes a more significant design requirement. This is just considered more important to hybrid and electric cars, so they were designed that way first.
