Hybrid car popularity growing – latest research
According to the latest research done by J.D. Power & Associates, a Westlake Village, California research firm, about 57% of people have plans to buy hybrid cars in next 2 years. This upsurge of interest is not sudden but is primarily driven by the rising prices of gasoline which touched $3 recently.
The report however could be a bit confusing as intention to buy and actually buying the car is much different. The concern was shared by Jim Hossack, an analyst with consulting firm AutoPacific Inc. of Tustin, California.
The report further claims that 49% of consumers are considering models that run on fuel that has 85% ethanol and mere 12% will go for diesel powered vehicles. GM, Ford and DaimlerChrysler have plans to produce 2 million vehicles a year by 2010 which will have their fuel as ethanol or bio-diesel.
People generally have unrealistic expectation about the fuel saving abilities of hybrid vehicles happens to be the biggest challenge for alternative power trains.
What ever may be the reason but the time in which we are living today demands saving fuel at all cost. Hybrid car is the only way as of now to save fuel in a big way. Conservation of environment is at the doorstep of each one of us. Why not go ahead and grab your next — Let it be Hybrid car.
