Role of Hybrid Cars in the Current Auto Crisis
The downfall of the economy has left a major effect on the automotive industry. The automotive industry crisis of 2008-2009 is just another of the unprecedented events in the car industry’s long history. The collapse of the economy and the consequent slowing down has affected the U.S. auto markets much more than the European or the Asian markets.
This fall started during the 2003-2008 energy crises that resulted in the collapse of poor fuel-efficient vehicles like sports utility vehicles and pickup trucks. The Big Three of the American market slowly had to admit their defeat when car sales began to slide. The rise in prices of raw materials that were essential for car manufacturing was another factor that led to its great plunge.

Green Solutions For Autos
Is it possible to keep the world moving while simultaneously making the air quality improve and cutting CO2 emissions? The answer is that its certainly not impossible.
There are more fuel efficient vehicles, engineered to get more miles per litre of fuel. Scientists and vehicle designers have known for years of ways to improve emissions and improve air quality. Unfortunately the economic political will hasn’t been apparent, until very recently. With petrol being so cheap in certain countries, especially USA, the freeways have been packed with Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) and 4×4 vehicles, gas guzzling monsters of the road.
For drivers of SUVs and the like, the alternative is to get a diesel-powered vehicle. That alone could improve efficient by as much as 30% and enhance engine performance.
