Hybrid electric vehicles: they will reduce pollution and conserve petroleum. But will people buy them, even if the vehicles have astounding fuel efficiency?

Article Abstract:

Political forces are still at the forefront of the factors affecting the lukewarm reception of consumers for hybrid electric vehicles. A number of promising hybrid electric vehicle configurations have been developed, most prominent of which is the parralel configuration, which allows the vehicle to use both gas-power and electric power.

Working knowledge: Electronic stability control

Article Abstract:

ElectronICtability control helps prevent sliding, veering off the road and even rolling over for passengers in a car and hence automakers are offering this technology on more and more passenger vehicles. These technology sensors compare how a driver is attempting to steer with the direction the car is heading.

Concepts on the edge

Article Abstract:

Automotive designers are veering away from purely aerodynamic considerations in the development of new cars. Instead, they are exploring how aerodynamics can be combined with revolutionary, even avant-garde, shapes and design elements to produce automobiles which are both attractive and efficient.
