What is a Hybrid?

A hybrid

is a vehicle that incorporates more than one onboard system to achieve propulsion. It can have a traditional internal combustion engine and fuel tank. It could have an electric motor that requires a battery.

Hybrids have been mistaken for electric cars. The former utilizes gas for operation, but has electric components that collect and reuse energy that goes to waste in the average gas vehicle. In theory, a diesel-electric hybrid is a more efficient fuel-based vehicle, but hybrid and diesel systems in the same car would be prohibitively expensive.

How to Care for Your Cabin Air Filter

What is a Cabin Air Filter?

 

The cabin or interior of your car needs a regular circulation of air in order to keep the air within the vehicle fresh and clean. Cabin air filters filter out the air that comes through the heating vents, air conditioning system and other ventilation ducts to remove dust, debris, pollen and other airborne particulates from the air before allowing it into the cabin.
