The goal of hybrid cars is to achieve transition on an electric car in order to slow down global warming.

However, research shows that environmental impact hybrid cars are still a long way off positive.

This is a newspaper From the standard which has just published the latest research that overwhelms plug-in hybrid cars.

Less good results

European governments welcome the fact that hybrid vehicles are experiencing some success new cars for sale, just like that electric cars

However, a recent study by the author long European Transport and environment dominated by hybrid vehicles recharges

Indeed, according to this NGO, the performance of these vehicles is less good than what tests builders gave

Lower autonomy

But how was this research done to know that hybrid vehicles recharge more polluted?

In short, several researchers have been riding with three cars hybrids of the middle class. here, Researchers focused on the best-selling cars on the market and therefore with best features.

They did so several routes at the level of the city of Graz. The result is impressive: autonomy more batteries weak than what is advertised builders

Higher CO2 emissions

This number may even be half as much as shown! In addition, show CO2 is higher than official figures.

It was observed Researchers when traveling between the outskirts of Graz and the city center. It is enough to ask a question truthfulness information provided builders

The NGO goes further to say that plug-in hybrid vehicles should no longer receive no help from governments

NEW: Plug-in hybrids are still being touted as the climate solution, but tests on the latest models show they pollute far more than claimed on urban and suburban routes.

It’s time to tax PHEVs based on their actual emissions and stop subsidizing their sale.https://t.co/AX36ScKQ8C
