Hybrid vehicles are different from your average car because they use two or more different power sources to move the vehicle. Usually they use a regular combustion engine and an electric motor. Over recent years, new sources of energy and power have been used such as compressed air, electricity, liquified natural gas, hydrogen, and solar power. All of these secondary sources of hybrid power help lessen greenhouse emissions.
