Conventional cars have large engines to deal with driving uphill and accelerating.Hybrid cars have much smaller petrol engines，improved by electric motors when needed，so they use less petrol.Another way that fuel consumption is cut is by a system of “regenerative (再生的) braking”．The electric motor is used to slow down the car，rather than conventional brakes.The energy produced by slowing the car is changed into electrical power，which is automatically stored in the battery.In effect，the battery recharges when you brake.In conventional cars the energy produced when braking is wasted.

　　In 1928，Ferdinand Porsche built an experimental hybrid car.The first mass­produced hybrid car，the Toyota Prius，came out in Japan at the end of 1997.However，hybrid cars became available—in the USA only in 1999.As they use less fuel，hybrid cars are cheaper to run.There are also many voices in place to encourage people to buy them.In some countries，hybrid car owners pay a lower rate of tax，and don't have to pay on certain roads.In some cities，hybrid cars are allowed to park for free.
