Abstract

With the surge in environmental concerns all over the world, in particular global warming and air pollution which are partly caused by automobile transportation, the issue of a clean car is today clearly on the top of the agenda. The media are disseminating the feeling that the hybrid technology is an obvious answer to such problems. They are supported also by politicians and businesses needing to advertise their environment friendly policies and strategies. In the United States, which never signed the Kyoto protocol, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler are pressing President Bush to actively support a "national" technology and therefore a "national" industry for hybrids . The 2008 federal budget includes $42 million to accelerate research on advanced battery technologies for hybrids. New York mayor, Michael Bloomberg, promised that all 13 000 "yellow cabs" will be hybrid by 2012 from only 375 today ! IKEA decided all its fleet will be "hybridized" by 2010 in the United Kingdom.
