The public is getting increasingly familiar with the concept of electric and hybrid vehicles. The average consumer of today doesn’t perhaps know exactly how the hybrid engine works (explained in this article), but they are surely aware that it is much better for the environment than legacy vehicles that use internal combustion engines only. Let's discover why!
Hybrid vehicles are a step up when in terms of environmental impact, fuel economy, and overall engine wear and tear, but they do require a bit of extra care when choosing engine oil. The frequent stop-start cycles put the engine under a significant strain, while lower temperatures can cause oil degradation. To deal with these issues, the use of lubricants specifically tailored for these hybrid vehicles is recommended.
The number of hybrid cars in Europe is continuously increasing. Hybrid vehicles are also a more cost-effective option given they provide greater fuel efficiency. However, the evolution of intelligent hybrid vehicles poses a new set of challenges for drivers and lubricant manufacturers. Here is how Valvoline’s intelligent hybrid fluids address the problem.
As we move further into a new era of eco-friendly driving, it is important to understand the complex dance of mechanics and electronics that happens inside every hybrid electric vehicle. Let us see what makes HEVs not only cars of the present but also cars of the future, and learn more about these innovative vehicles.
Lately, we have gained several types of environmentally friendly vehicles. From hybrids and plug-ins (both of which have both a petrol engine and electric batteries) to fully electric vehicles, today we have a lot of green transportation options to choose from. So let us examine each of these three categories and learn about their individual pros and cons.
