  • Abstract
    The power industry´s poor relation is currently experiencing a sea change in attitude thanks to a sudden interest from social media. A hybrid vehicle can use a much smaller battery as most of the energy while driving is still consumed by the internal combustion engine. As a result, although the hybrid was estimated to be responsible for 20 per cent more emissions overall, the manufacturing component was only around a tenth of the battery-driven vehicle.
