Hybrid Car vs. Normal Car

Once it was a time when there were two kinds of cars on the road, diesel/petrol cars and gas cars. Evolution in automotive industry brings new technology in the cars. In addition to normal cars, Flexible-Fuel Vehicle (FFV) or hybrid cars, hydrogen fuel cars, solar cars etc. are also available in the market. Latest technology brings also some confusion and common people are unable to understand the differences between all these types of cars.

Key Differences

What is Hybrid Car?

Hybrid car is a type of car that uses two or more distinct power system to operate. Mostly the word hybrid car is used by the people for the hybrid electric vehicles. However, hybrid cars also uses other mechanism or energy resources to move one. Common different power resources include: compressed or liquefied natural gas (CNG/LNG); electricity; hydrogen; solar; wind, etc. Hybrid cars can be best described as dual mode vehicles that includes an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. In most of the countries the trend of hybrid cars is increasing day by day because hybrid cars are environment pollution free vehicles and are less expensive as compare to normal or regular cars.

What is Normal Car?

A normal car or regular car only contains internal combustion engine to work. There is no electrical motor in normal cars to assist the engine make power as present in hybrid cars. Normal cars mostly runs on petrol/diesel/gasoline or gas (CNG/LNG). Some normal cars contains maximum two distinct resources to run. It can be both diesel and petrol or gas. Many sports cars, racing cars, family cars, etc. are kind of normal cars. Their speed and efficiency ratio is many time greater than hybrid car. Pick up ratio of normal car is also very higher than hybrid car. Most of the parts in normal car are mechanical rather than electrical.
