Abstract
It is known that in accordance with the rapid development of the industrial industry in the XX-XXI centuries, the use of oil and gas products has increased dramatically. This factor, in turn, has led to problems such as environmental pollution, changes in global temperatures, and a shortage of oil resources. For these reasons, car companies have begun to conduct research in order to introduce hybrid technologies into everyday life. The article examines the history of the emergence of hybrid technologies, as well as the principles and fundamentals of their functioning, as well as an overview of the technologies used at the present stage. The article is based on research concerning the manufacturing technologies of existing commercial vehicles, such as Toyota Prius, Astrolab, as well as fuel and raw materials used in hybrid cars. The article presents the pros and cons of the technologies considered, conclusions that hybrid cars will become an alternative to gasoline and diesel cars in the future.
