The History of Hybrid Cars
Oct 21
The history of hybrid cars includes hybrid electric cars and alternative fuel vehicles. A common belief is that hybrid cars are a new phenomenon, but this is completely false. The first known vehicle to be considered an alternative fuel or hybrid vehicle was built in in the later sixteen hundreds, and it was created for the Chinese Emperor Khang. This vehicle included four wheels and used steam for fuel. In 1769, a Frenchman by the name of Nicholas Cugnot created a carriage which included a steam motor, and which could reach a speed of six miles an hour. A electric vehicle which was built in 1839 in Aberdeen, Scotland was created by Robert Anderson. It was not until 1913 that hybrid electric cars and alternative fuel vehicles started to decline.
