China is going green. In order to reduce air pollution and oil-shortages， car makers have announced their plans to develop hybrid(混合燃料) cars for the Chinese market. Toyota's hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Let's have alook at the new car.
Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sourcesof power. Hybrid cars run on a rechargeable battery and gasoline(汽油). Hybrid cars have special engines，which are smaller than traditional gasoline engines. They run at 99 per cent of their power when the car is going at a steady speed.
A specially designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.
Step into a Prius， and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a traditional car. At this point， the car's gasoline engine is at rest. The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed， you are effectively driving an electric car， with no gasoline being used， and no waste gas gives off.
