Hybrid Cars
Jose Ayon
Specific Purpose - To inform my audience about hybrid vehicles.
Central Idea - Hybrid car history and different platforms of hybrid vehicles.
Introduction
I. A hybrid car is a vehicle with more than one power source such as a small internal combustion engine and an electric motor.
II. Most hybrids only use gasoline when needed. The electric motor, powered by a stack of rechargeable batteries, is the primary workhorse for propulsion under low-speed driving.
III. When you think of a hybrid vehicle, you may find yourself thinking Toyota Prius. 1. Toyota Prius was the first mass produced hybrid vehicle.
IV. According to Toyota Motor Corp. a hybrid system combines different power sources to maximize each one’s strengths, while compensating the others’ short comings.
IV. Today I am going to inform you on the history about hybrid vehicle and explain the different hybrid platforms and how they work.
Body
I. The first hybrid vehicle was not the Toyota Prius, nor was it invented in the 2000s or even the 1990s. Although the many reasons that brought the hybrid vehicle into existence are similar to those living in the 21st century; ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) equipped vehicles were too noisy and produce too much toxic emission.
1. The first Hybrid Vehicle was brought forth by Viennese coach builder named Jacob Lohner. Lohner turned to a young Austrian engineer by the name of Ferdinand Porsche. Lohner asked Porsche to incorporate his patent electric wheel-hub design into a Coach that belonged to Lohner. The result was the Lohner-Porsche Elektromobil in 1896.
2. Toyota launched the world’s first mass-produced hybrid vehicle, in Japan known at the Toyota Prius.
A. over 37,000 sold in Japan before the vehicle was introduced to the U.S. Market in 2000.
3. Honda and Toyota both release their hybrid vehicles available to the U.S. Market.
A. Honda released the 2000 Honda Insight in 1999.
B. Toyota released their 2001
