Introduction to Hybrid Electric Vehicles
Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) combine two or more sources of power, offering low emissions and improved fuel efficiency.
The Honda Insight is a parallel hybrid, combining an advanced powertrain with lightweight materials to achieve extraordinary aerodynamics and ultra-low emissions.
How HEVs Work
HEVs operate differently than conventional gasoline-fueled vehicles, using a combination of electricity from batteries and mechanical power from a small internal combustion engine.
The Insight’s hybrid system is seamless and transparent, with the highest fuel economy of any car on the road.
Key Features
The Insight offers many innovative features, including an advanced power control system, “idle stop” feature, and electronic display that shows real-time trip and lifetime fuel economy.
The car’s aerodynamic design minimizes drag and maximizes safety, with a lightweight aluminum body and reinforced frame.
