In Australia the BMW companies launched their project X6 but also they have tried to keep a tight lip about a new item coming onto the market soon and this is the hybrid version of this BMW car. The hybrid will use an electric battery with a 4.4 liter petrol back up. It will be more powerful than the petrol cars because it will have to carry more weight with the electronic hybrid design. This hybrid works differently than the toyota hybrid prius. This car will assist throughout the speed up and slow down process where as the prius hybrid only assist up to 30km/h and then the petrol engine takes over. This allows the BMW to be able to perform at higher speeds than the toyotas. They plan to sell in small numbers.
I think that this is a great idea and I actually learned alot from this article because I wasnt aware of how the hybrids actually worked in speed so I learned alot and I think that these are great development and I hope that there are more people that catch on and start using these cars because gas is getting more and more expensive and alternate sources of energy are better.
